Why do I get 'User validation error: This field can not be edited' when I change the scopes of an existing Connection?

You can’t edit the scopes of a Catalyst CloudScale Connection once it is created, and you can’t edit its Connection Link Name either. To use different scopes, create a new Connection:

1. Open your project in the Catalyst console, go to CloudScale → Connections and click Create Connection.
2. Choose the same service, enter a name, select every scope your code needs, click Create And Connect and authorize the connection.
3. Update your code to use the new Connection Link Name, and deploy it.
4. Delete the old Connection: click its ellipsis icon, click Delete, then Yes, Delete.

If you delete the old Connection first, you can create the new one with the same name so your code doesn’t change, but calls that use it fail until the new Connection is authorized.

Note: Only the developer who established a Connection can edit or delete it; anyone else must revoke it and establish it again first.

Refer to the Manage Connections help page for details.
