  Solution:
  
  Check Hierarchy Assignment: Verify if the hierarchy is indeed assigned to an attribute set. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  Remove Assignment: If you need to modify the fields, you may need to remove the assignment of the hierarchy from the attribute set. This can usually be done in the configuration settings, but be cautious as it may affect other areas of your SAP system.
  Modify Fields: Once the hierarchy is no longer assigned to the attribute set, you should be able to modify the fields as needed.
