Error, Unable to make update:

Probably a permissions problem?

Cheers

Mark.

Having the same problem with a user reference field. As administrator, when I try to edit a user reference field in an autocomplete field, I am able to find the user but when I press enter I get a popup stating.

When in fact the user is valid.

Provider is the users role and it is also the field label. I do not think the problem is with the role as when I try to change the user reference to someone who is not of role, "provider", I still get the same error.

I get this too. with a cck text field in views.
only when there is no value yet.

I had the same error, but after intense research, I figured out what the problem was.

If Views doesn't know what to edit, it shows you the error below.

"Error, unable to make update:
error : Provider: found no valid user with that name."

Prerequisite: The easiest way to follow this solution is to remove all filters, relationships, and arguments. You can add them again later.

1. Views does not just need a content type. It also requires actual content that it can use in a display. If there is no content, you will see your fields, but since Views doesn't know what to change, you will get this error. So create content. To make the following step easier, enter "Test" into one of your fields.

You should now see all your fields (by default) ten times on the page below the view configuration panel. Below the tenth entry you should find the content you created. Also, if you followed my advice in 1. you should find the entry "Test".

2. You also have to have permission to change the content. As an admin you shouldn't have any trouble with that. If you are a user, you need permission to change content. (See User Management -> Permissions -> edit any YOURCONTENTTYPE). Note: you will have to implement a filter to limit your users' access to other records.

3. Now you can re-implement your filters (e.g. user filter, organic group filter).

I hope this helps! If this doesn't work for you or if my post is too cryptic, tell me how to improve it!

I'm sorry this is cryptic. Can you explain better. I tried doing what you suggest but I am still getting the error..

Error, unable to make update:
error : Location: found no valid post with that title.

Ah.. I think I get it. Yes, indeed, Test is selectable. So I guess I have to go back and remake all my content?? Ug Luckily I am on a test bed... Still not sure why or how but it appears to be working now... well only for "Test"

Sorry Im back in the dark.. Just remade all my test nodes and once again same error..
