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.

And if you were to simply make then unprotected then that would not work either since any value you set would get over-ridden. 😎

There is a special "back door" way to set these properties which is to disable the auditable aspect for the current transaction.
