Additional Information
This is as designed. In ArcGIS Pro 2.9 the capability to open already open projects as read-only. They same behavior changed in the UI as well. In this case, if you already have the referenced project open and you try to reference it again with arcpy.mp, you can NOT save changes to it. You would need to call saveACopy(). Also added an isReadOnly property to the ArcGISProject object.Workaround
Use the CURRENT keyword rather than the project path if the code is being run within the desired project. Alternatively, make sure the referenced project is closed when running the addDataFromPath() function with a specified project path.
