"false" isn't valid. Whatever script is trying to write to that tag needs to be updated, change it to " **F** alse"

Have you tried editing the tag configuration to not be read-only? Are you sure you are writing a boolean `False`, not a string `"False"` ?

Session read-write mode cannot override a tag set to read-only. You simply can't write to such a tag at all.
