GUID field not editable

[Anonymous User]

I have a layer with a GUID field that I need to copy/paste the GlobalID from another layer into. But for some reason the GUID field is greyed out in the edit pop-up in the FlexViewer. In both the javascript (web app builder) and silverlight viewer this field is editable. Any idea why this is and how to enable editing on this field?

Thanks Venkata but this article doesn't address the question of why I can't paste into a GUID type field. Cheers.

you may have to convert the data type ?

Any GUID field seems to be greyed out so I can't paste the value in there to begin with.
