Cause
In Manage Recruiting Settings, the "Revert to using Succession Data Model for permissions for sm-mapped fields" is enabled. This means that permissions for the background fields included in sm-mapping will come from Succession Data Model or Manage Business Configuration.
In Manage Business Configuration, the E role is missing write permission.
Resolution
- Navigate to Admin Center > Manage Business Configuration
- Locate the background element (example: Work Experience)
- Click on Take Action > Make Correction
- Grant the E with write permission
