Can I edit the player's external ID?

💻 Environment/Context

  • Configure
  • Teams & players
  • External ID
  • Advanced settings 

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • I would like to grant access to the A.S.O. Médias account type, to the advanced setting of the athlete page to edit the external ID.
  • A user needs to populate or edit the External ID on a player profile, but the field is greyed out and shows the message “You can't edit external IDs because they are managed by integrations”.

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • If the platform has an active roster integration (such as SportRadar), player External IDs are managed by the integration and cannot be edited manually.
  • If no roster integration is active, a player's External ID can be edited from the player's Advanced Settings.

 

 

🥚 Cause

  • By default, External IDs are locked when player profiles are managed through an integration. This helps ensure data consistency and prevents identifiers synced from external systems from being modified manually.
