  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with how the configuration is set up, leading to conflicts when trying to modify the table.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Context Settings: Review the context settings to ensure that modifications are allowed. You may need to switch to a different context where modifications are permitted.
