So I know this is going to come down to me doing things I should not really have and screwing something up but hoping to get an idea of what I might do to fix the problem.
I used the core uSync to export some content types and the assoicated content nodes from an existing Umbraco 17 install, then I proceded to strip out a few properties from the .config files XML nodes before importing the information into a new Umbraco 17 install.
The import seemed to work fine. The doctypes are there, the nodes and the content I care about is there as well. BUT if I try to do anything (update information, change the config of a data type, move the node) to the document types or the content itself I get this error

You cannot make this change, root level items are locked
It is only happening to the content I imported. Another document type that is set as “allow as root” can be modified fine. I looked into the umbraco logs and this error is not showing up there. My runtime mode is set to Development.
The reason I did the import this way is becasue these are news articles and I need to presurve the original publish dates, the assigned author, and the Headine and Atricle propertie’s value on over 500 nodes. Because the old system used a lot of plugins the new system is not using I could not just export import as the import breaks on the missing custom data types from the missing plugins.
If anyone has any ideas what I can do to fix this error would be appreciated.
