• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_MKTLIST_ADMIN010 - You cannot change the external list field ?

  The SAP error message CRM_MKTLIST_ADMIN010 with the description "You cannot change the external list field" typically occurs in the context of managing marketing lists in SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM). This error indicates that there is an attempt to modify a field that is designated as external and, therefore, is not allowed to be changed directly within the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  External List Field: The field you are trying to change is part of an external data source or is marked as read-only. This means that the data is managed outside of the SAP system, and any changes must be made in the external system.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to prevent inconsistencies between internal and external data sources. Changing external fields directly in SAP could lead to discrepancies.
