  4. The Workflow Rule ABC (ABC represents the Workflow ID) failed with the error message 'Changing of Chance of Success not Possible; Field is Read-Only'.

Cause

Read only property for field Chance of Success depends on Status of Sales quote instance.

The above statement is based on existing behavior of product.
