“There was a problem retrieving data for this field. Updating values in this field is disabled temporarily. You can still update values in other fields.”, Error while editing User Profile in SharePoint 2010.

When I tried to edit my User Profile in SharePoint 2010, I found some properties disabled with this error, “There was a problem retrieving data for this field. Updating values in this field is disabled temporarily. You can still update values in other fields." This is because Managed Metadata Service Application Proxy’s properties were not properly set.

Error1

Error2

To resolve this issue, I opened Managed Metadata Service Application Proxy’s properties.

ProxyServiceSetting1

And check first two option.

1. This service application is the default storage location for Keywords.

2. This service application is the default storage location for column specific term sets.

MetadataProp

MetaDataProp2

After clicking OK, when I again tried to edit my User Profile properties, everything was working fine.

  2. Same here! After looking for essentially copies of copies of Microsoft's solution (which tells you what's wrong but not how to fix it), your screenshots were a welcomed solution.
