Article summary

An "Array fields cannot be changed using this program" error comes up when running Global Change. Why?

Answer:
The global change program can't be used to change array fields. It would be necessary to use a progress editor to make the changes.

For gift issues, the best approach is to therefore make a gift adjustment if you need to change the principle or income fields.  Changes to the other fields in the array should be handled by a gift adjustment anyway since it is necessary to modify the GL and possibly the fund information in the Fund module.

Commonly tried array fields are:
  • Gift History or Gift principle and income fields
  • Account key - should have been a gift adjustment anyway
  • Gift/non-gift flag - should have been a gift adjustment anyway
  • Application or Application History Prerequisites tab - Review and Required Items - can still be manually edited
