Using "User Profile" widget, I cannot update Location for some users when Empty.
On sys_user table, i cannot modify the Location value either. How can I fix this?

@jna 

there must be some field level WRITE ACL which is blocking.

Is admin able to update location?

Quick Verification Test

Try this as admin:

  1. Open any user record

  2. Right-click → Configure → Form Layout

  3. Add Location

  4. Try to edit

If still locked:

👉 100% ACL or dictionary.

If user is unable to edit on form not necessary it's always because of ACL or Dictionary.
