How to solve security prevents writing to the State field

[Elijah Aromola]

An ACL for that table/field would need to be edited to allow write access. Normally fields are locked down due to process/oob flow. Can you share your use case for updating this?

Hi @Jayanthi3 ,

Navigate to state field dictionary there is dictionary override which is making the state as Read only if you remove the checkbox then state field will be editable. Please find the below screen shot,

Hi @Jayanthi3 

Ideally you should not be making your state editable even for admins, if you still want to change the state for multiple records, best way to achieve this would be to update via data source and transform map.
