Hi All,

I am trying to update an entity in Dynamics 365 using OData API

However the attribute which I an trying to edit has the below annotation in the metadata

<Annotation Term="Microsoft.Dynamics.OData.Core.V1.AllowEdit" Bool="false" />

Is there any way I can bypass/change this annotation to still edit the attribute .

Please note since this is an integration requirement I cannot deploy write any custom X++ code neither at the client side nor at the server side .

I will highly appreciate your help .

Regards,

Sameer Kulkarni

Hi Sameer,

If a field is editable or not is defined in the definition of a data entity. You can't change that behavior without a customization. There might be a reason why the field was made read-only.
