Web-Access to DT Server is read-only

Hello there,

I am running DT Server 4.3.2 and I access DT via web browser from my Windows PC. My user has all permissions for all my databases, but it still happens, that I can not modify existing records.

It has been working on a few occasions, but I could not track down, under which circumstances.

Restarting DT or logging out/in did not make a difference.

What could be wrong?

Harry.

  • You didn’t mention what kind of records you are trying to modify.
  • Have you checked if Data > Mark > as Locked is enabled for the problematic file(s)?

It’s a plain text document and it’s not locked. I can edit it just fine on the server and on a Mac which has the DB synced. Also, the Web UI can toggle the lock icon, but the format options (bold, italic, …) turn the mouse pointer to the “forbidden symbol”.

Plain text doesn’t support any styling. That is what makes it “plain”.

Can you type in the document?

This would be incorrect behavior. As noted, plain text doesn’t support formatting so you should not be seeing any formatting buttons. Are you referring to Markdown?
