The attributes within the Details section of the Relationship tab of the Contacts TI (like for example Phone and E-Mail) are attributes of a contact person relationship and can be only maintained for contact person relationships. Within the non-modified Relationship tab of the Contacts TI, the Details section is only available if a contact person relationship is marked. So, within a non-modified UI, your reported error cannot happen.

At contact person relationships you can have a contact person relationship workplace address and at this contact person workplace address you can maintain workplace data and communication data like Function, Department, Phone and E-Mail. Other relationships do not have /cannot have a contact person relationship workplace address and therefore there it is not possible to maintain workplace data and communication data like Function, Department, Phone and E-Mail.

This is the expected system behaviour. In Business Configuration it is not possible to define Z* relationships that can have workplace addresses. At service performer relationships you can have a service performer relationship workplace address and at this service performer workplace address you can also maintain workplace data and communication data like Function, Department, Phone and E-Mail can be maintained.
