Question

Has the behavior changed for "Generate Code and Deploy" on read-only files in Developer Studio (version 26.2.1308 / 2026-10-02)?

Hi all,
I would like to ask about a behavior change regarding code generation in the recent IFS Developer Studio update.
* Developer Studio Version:** IFS Developer Studio 18 (Build 26.2.1308 2026-10-02)
* Target File: `XXXX-Cust.entity` (marked as `[r/o]`)
* Target Layer: `Cust`

**Issue Description:**
When running "Generate Code and Deploy" on a customization entity file that has read-only attributes, the execution is blocked with the following error:

> `ERROR: Files are in read-only mode. Code generation and deployment are not supported for read-only files.`

In previous versions, we were able to run generate code and deploy without issues even when the files were in read-only mode.

**Questions:**

1. Is this an intended specification change / new validation introduced in the 2026-10-02 release (26.2.1308) to strictly disallow generation on any read-only files?

2. Is there any setting or workaround available to bypass this restriction, or is it mandatory now to manually remove the read-only flag before generating and deploying?

Any insights or official references regarding this change would be greatly appreciated.
(Please see the attached screenshot for details.)

Thank you in advance!
