Restore Read Only Fields in ServiceNow

In ServiceNow, specific fields can be set as read only by default. This is defined at the sys_dictionary level.

Recover can't restore data to read only fields. To restore data to a read only field remove the read only setting.

  1. Set the read only field to false in ServiceNow.
  2. Run a full backup to identify the attribute change from "read only = true" to "read only = false".
  3. Rerun the restore job.
