Hi everyone,
I'm facing an issue in my ServiceNow Personal Developer Instance (PDI) while creating or editing Client Scripts.
Issue:
When I open a Client Script in ServiceNow Studio, the editor displays the error:
Cannot edit in read-only editor
Troubleshooting steps I've tried:
Refreshed the page and logged out and back in.
Confirmed that my user has the admin role.
Checked my membership in the Conditional Script Writer group.
Verified that the system property glide.security.scripting_role.auto_provisioning is set to true.
Opened the Scripting Governance Tool and checked the manual configuration.
Confirmed that my user appears in the Keep list, but the editor is still read-only.
Checked my user's Roles related list, but snc_required_script_writer_permission was not present.
I'm using the Device Order Management System (DOMS) application scope.
Could someone please help me identify the root cause and the correct steps to resolve this issue? I'd appreciate a solution that doesn't involve removing other users from the Conditional Script Writer group or making unnecessary changes to system properties.
