Filemaker is telling me that it cannot change a record because it is not modifiable. I have checked every option I can think of to make sure that it is modifiable. I am not allowed to change only when the record is new, and in a portal. The portal will show the empty row to add a new one in, but I am not allowed to edit it.

Does anybody know why this would happen?

Are you writing to a calc'field from a script??

No this is not from a script. I'm trying to add a new record in a portal. The blank row shows like it should, but when you try to edit it, it shows an alert with the error.

This happens with every field in the record, so it can't be an individual problem.

I had this happen, and it had to do with the Relationship. The right side of the Relationship was a calculation field. FileMaker doesn't not warn you about his anymore.

Is there any way to fix this? The calculation there is pretty much necessary.

Choosing a different field for your relationship would be the best option. However, more information in this field might lead to some kind of alternative.

I made a new static date field, with the same data (added by script), and it still gives the same error.

Now it's two regular date fields, but it still won't let me add me new records through the portal.

Post a copy of your file.

I think I've just figured it out on my own. I changed the other field (with multiple entries) that relates to the single field to a static field. The script has to loop, but it works, and that's what counts.

Thanks for your help anyways!
