Hi Pamela,
I assume its related to D365 F&O.
If yes, the error is due to AOS Authorization property set on the VendTable for the field BirthPlace. This property is one of the features of table permission framework.
In order to avoid this error, you need to add this field under your custom security privileges.
Refer to standard privileges like VendBirthDateMaintain and VendBirthDateView.
Thanks,
Girish S.
