Modifying Records in Cross-Repository Relationship
You can also modify relationships spanning across repositories. The first repository in which you choose to modify records becomes the source repository. The repository with which the source repository establishes a relationship becomes the target repository.
You cannot modify a record when it is participating in a workflow. However, the Administrator can override this constraint and edit the record.
