A column with %\_folderpath% in 'Field:' refuses to be edited i.e. is read-only in the tracklist.
Help says:
Field
This field is optional. The placeholder of this field is used for editing the content of the field through the file view - if this field is empty, the column is write protected.

Only metadata fields are editable except for %\_filename\_ext%

I simply report the bug. The decision as to which of program or docs should get the adjustment is down to the implementor.

I've changed the help topic accordingly with the current [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de).

Not confirmed in V2.39o.
It now says
This field is optional. The placeholder of this field is used for editing the content of the field through the file view - if this field is empty, the column is write protected.
You can use placeholders for tag fields, %\_filename\_ext%, or %\_filename% here.
One fix to the problem would be:
...
You can use only placeholders for tag fields, %\_filename\_ext%, or %\_filename% here.
