Instead, when the Service Builder is open they are fetched via reference unlike artifacts imported via other methods in the Service Builder. Hence, they always depend on the status of the data source availability. Their behavior and operations are controlled by the data source reference provider and not by the Service Builder. As they are references, they are always read-only.
