Aha, that is indeed a problem. I’ve fixed it in this commit:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/6d38005a2294a23e1754573f2ce3089fb9f12077](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/6d38005a2294a23e1754573f2ce3089fb9f12077)

Staff can now edit user fields even if the fields are uneditable.
