You can now edit any position via Position Org chart > Position > Edit without any error appearing and the rule should trigger / fields will update to job info

Note:

There will be more options when creating the Rule, you will be able to select Synchronise Position Changes to Incumbents” or Synchronise Incumbents Changes to Position, so the correct parameters will already be set up:
