    Hi,
    This blog mentioned the error you describe, and it explains that the reason for this error is that the “Personnel Number” field is set to Allow Edit No.  you can try to set the allow edit property to yes for Personnel Number.
    For more details, please view the blog below:

    Hi,
     
    Instead of DMF have you tried using open in excel functionality by navigating to worker position assignment form?
     
    Thanks,
    Girish S.

    It's under Human Resource >> Worker.
     
    Navigate to the above form >> On the top right corner you have office icon >> Click on that and select the appropriate entity - Download it - Update the data and publish it.
    But it will have limited fields only. 
     
    Thanks,
    Girish S.
