I recently received this error message when trying to update data in custom columns in the ‘item’ sublist of a purchase order:

You do not have permissions to set a value for element children_base due to one of the following reasons: 1) The field is read-only; 2) An associated feature is disabled; 3) The field is available either when a record is created or updated, but not in both cases.

Relevant data:I have the Administrator role
I was trying to setSublistValue in BeforeSubmit of a 2.0 UserEvent script
The script would get through all looped calls to setSublistValue before failing, implying it failed on save.
A search of google, stackOverflow, and the UserGroups for ‘children_base’ yielded nothing, although I did find some information about the INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSION error here.

I ended up using AfterSubmit for my calculations by loading, modifying, and re-saving the record.

Has anyone else had this error and if so, how was it resolved? Thanks!

This is a defect, contact NS to get in on it.

I remember getting this error before but it was because i accidentally had form object created. has NS support gotten back to you on this?

Yeah you’re right, could be a lot of things actually. It could be a defect, but could just be some bad code. NS seems to throw that particular error message a lot for different reasons.

If you’re seeing that error message when Web Services saves a record with scripting that otherwise runs fine via the UI, then that’s probably Defect 430082. But if WS is not involved, it could indeed be something else.
