Why these fields are always read only

Why these fields are always read only even after I configured them in the share-form-config.xml
and change : <show id="cm:created" for-mode="edit" /> to edit .

and changed in share-config-custom.xml
<show id="cm:modifier" for-mode="edit" />  , which also changed to edit.

But the result are still read only .

I am use alfresco 3.3G, any recommendation ?  Thanks in advance !

Hi,

If you take a look at the definition of the auditable aspect you will see that these properties are marked as protected.  This means the forms framework will not allow them to be edited regardless of the configuration set.  They are marked as protected, because their values are calculated by the repository (during creation and update of the node) therefore it wouldn't make sense for their values to be edited directly.
