Hi,
searched but did not found any similar post.
how can I make any non editable entity for example Email Template, Mass Email etc, editable in Administrator > Entiity Manager?
Thanks

For example, you want to edit EmailTemplate. You need to create file custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/scopes/EmailTemplate.json with this content

{
  "layouts": true,
  "customizable": true
}​ 

Then just run rebuilld, clear cache and reload the page. But it is not advisable as disable editing was done for a reason. So make it at your own risk

This is not recommended and customizations won't be officily supported.

Is there any official supported solution yuri ? Any recommendation?

If an entity type is not made available for editing, it's because developers whished them to be not available for editing. Whenever we do any changes in such entity types (in future updates), we don't take into account that the entity type could have been edited/customized by a user. If anything breaks after upgrade, we won't consider it as a bug. It will be up to the user to maintain functioning of the system (or get paid support that can be pricy if requires a lot of effort).
