    When I'm not resizing a DynamicBuffer in a job (i.e. no add element, remove element, clear, etc.), but only want to update data on an element in the buffer, do I still need to pass the DynamicBuffer with write access (pass via ref, readonly = false) to the job?

    Hi!
    Updating data on an element in the buffer is considered as a write. So yes you need to allow write access to the buffer.
    But maybe I missed something on your question.
