For example: Entity JobApplicationSnapshot_OutsideWorkExperience is not editable. Please check the entity setting in Admin Center > OData API Data Dictionary or the entity metadata.

Environment

Cause

This is an expected behavior as per the OData API Guide: JobApplicationSnapshot_Education & JobApplicationSnapshot_OutsideWorkExperience. Snapshot Background Elements only support query operations.
