Error:

com.exalate.api.node.exception.IssueNotEditableException: Issue TEST-123 cannot be updated by user exalateuser. Please check permissions.

This occurs even if the proxy user has all the necessary permissions. What could be the cause?

Thanks,

This message indicates that Exalate couldn’t update the issue. This might be due permission problems but more often is about the issue being in a status (like closed) that doesn’t allow to update the issue (only add comments). From the incoming script, you can avoid this error by doing:

//Incoming sync, place this on the top of your script

if(!firstSync && nodeHelper.isIssueEditable(issue)) {
	issue.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue,replica)
	return;
}
