System managed fields are blocked!

Hi, 

I need urgent help.

I am importing a list which we do every month and the suburb is always captured as "Inferred city" but this time I am getting below error: 

[Moderation note: removed image containing personal information]

Also tried to see if there is anything in field management which is blocking , but there is nothing.

Once I complete the import with above settings, The suburb "BATLOW" is coming as "city" but I want it to be "Inferred city" same as the other records .

Please guide me the right way asap, this is pretty urgent. You can call me if needed.

Regards, 

Shweta

Hi Shweta,

The Inferred City field is a system field that Marketo updates based on the lead's IP details. This field is not something that can be manually overwritten or updated by a user.

If you would like more information on system fields, Marketo has some documentation that can be found here.

Hi Shweta,

You should consider blurring out parts of - or deleting - these images. They contain a lot of data points that make it easy to identify people within your database.

Re: System managed fields are blocked!

Solution: Use another field. Inferred City, by definition, can't be explicitly set.

Hi Shweta,

This thread has the same answer as Sanford's response above: 

You cannot update this field - it can only be updated by Marketo. You will have to use a different field.
