Restricted reference types
Some reference types are required for Network MDM features; many are used for address cleansing.
These reference types are considered restricted because codes should not inactivated. Their use might not be apparent but they can be integral to how your data is processed.
Example
If the MERGED_INTO code for the RecordState reference type is inactivated, no records can be merged.
The merge instruction will fail, job errors will exist in the administrator inbox, and the records will not merge. This is because the losing record in a merge is assigned the MERGED_INTO code for the record state.
Important You can edit a reference type that isn't read-only; however, if it is considered restricted (see the lists below), adding and inactivating codes is not recommended.
Read-only reference types
Codes cannot be added or inactivated for read-only reference types.
The Import button on the Reference Codes page is dimmed to prevent users from editing the codes.

List of restricted types
Reference types that are not read-only can also be considered as restricted; codes should not be added, updated, or inactivated.
