Cannot modify a record. Current connection intent is Read-Only. - Custom Report Error

Posted on by Samantha73 3,297

Hi Guys

I have created a copy of standard report 113 in vs code (customer item/sales) and try to run it after publishing (v17.5 BC), but I get the below error:

"Cannot modify a record. Current connection intent is Read-Only."

Unlike other reports, this report contained multiple restrictions, and this is one of them, and I'd like to understand this error before changing access levels etc.

Thanks

    My understanding is this is only applicable if you intend on using a replica DB to run the report. Is that your intention? docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-dataaccessintent-property

    The report itself - standard - only does one modification and that’s to a valueentrybuffer table which is temporary anyway. So it is a property related error based on using replicas only

    Thanks, Josh, I did read that document I'm bemused by the error as we are looking at a BC SaaS system without using a replica etc.  The question is why the standard report is coded with

    " DataAccessIntent = ReadOnly" setting and this is not working on a copy in exactly the same environment. Once above is removed report works but clearly we are missing something here
