I can cofirm I have the same issue in my instance.

Do you want to replace the file itself or just the metadata? How does your request look like?

From the docs:

You can either submit a JSON object consisting of a partial file object to update the file meta, or send a multipart/form-data request to replace the file contents on disk.

I send json via application/json for update metadata.
(For update file data i use multiform)

Olso need change OAS file for add information about multiform type

I was able to duplicate this issue in a different way. I uploaded an image to attach it to an object in a collection, using the admin UI.

Context: CMS nerd but Directus n00b, just learning all the things, before I get to API internals & GraphQL.

Later when I tried to rename the title using file editor in the admin UI, it gave this same error.

We cannot edit titles, filenames or add descriptions/tags to any images. For reference, this was a .jpg file that renders nicely.

9.5.0 as well, Postgres 13 as well, Node v16 (Windows 10) locally. yuk IK but I do server development with windows gaming. running node v14, Ubuntu 20 & PG 10 on the server.

LMK if there's more I can do to help than just raise my hand & say: this is a bigger/broader problem than it may seem.
