Error: Unable to create/update fields

Hi Guys,

 

I ran into problem when creating Case object with customer field values. When ever I created a Case and setting the customer field Address__c (i.e String type) I got the Error as:

Error: Unable to create/update fields: Address__c. Please check the security settings of this field and verify that it is read/write for your profile.

 

The same thing happen with my other customer field value  Property_No__c

 

What did I do wrong? Why can't these field values be set? What the restriction(s) on Case fields ?

Thanks CVSG.

 

I found out that the address fields are populated from formular and all the fields are NOT writable from API.

The security profile you are using doesn't have permissions to update the address field.You can edit the field level security for a profile from setup->administration setup->profiles.

Hope this helps!

I'm getting the same issue, but this is for a custom Account field, and i'm only getting the issue on the person account record types (ispersonaccount=true).
It seems that thereI've tried updating the field using flow and data loader, to no avail, however, a PB record update works fine, but of course that will only trigger on create/edit so i can't find a way of mass updating records except for manually editting every field in SF.
