What happens when you try an update the field in the plugin code ? Do you get an error ?

Is this a custom field, or a system field ? Some system fields cannot be updated - these have ValidForUpdate = false in the metadata

If the plugin step is registred in post operation, make sure you are updating the entity.

If it is not the case, any exception was thrown? Can you share the source code?

Quick way of doing it is via the PRE operation plugins, PRE-create, PRE-update etc.

var target = context.TargetImage;

target[FIELDNAME] = VALUE;

oh.. although the reply might come too late, but you can use this to update a locked field

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("xxx").setSubmitMode("always");
