  13. Open the dropdown menu of a KUT field related to Quantities.

    RESULT: You can see that all possible units of measure. The dropdown menu includes units related to Electricity (Amperes, Ohms...).

Cause

In a standard field, all units of measures related to your measurement will be displayed. For instance, if you maintained Meters in the Quantity Conversion, the system understands that you are measuring a distance. Hence, the system will display all units of measure related to distances (foot, inch...) plus the initial unit of measure maintained in the product (in this case, Roll).

In KUT field, the dropdown menu does not have any restriction. Hence, the system will display all the units maintained in the "Quantities and Units of Measure" activity in your Project.

Resolution

This is the designed system behavior.
