Cannot edit card data for files not yet checked into the vault

Since upgrading the server to 2013 SP2.0, after creating a file in the vault and before checking it in for the first time, users cannot edit the file card data.  Here are my steps:

  1. Create a new model in SolidWorks.
  2. Save it to the vault (don't check it in).
  3. In the explorer view, select the model.
  4. Edit a value in the file card.
  5. Click the "Save" button.
  6. Notice a message that says, "Could not save card data to file..."

I checked in a 2012 vault, and it doesn't have this problem.  Has anyone else experienced this problem in 2013?  If so, is there a fix?

Correct Answer

Okay, I think I found the problem.  There is a new folder permission, "Edit version free variable data".  When that is enabled (turned on), under the steps described above, I get the message.  If I turn it off, then I don't get the message.
