Cause

  1. Launch the UI Designer.
  2. Select the UI section where you have added your PDI field.
  3. Open the Extensibility Explorer.
  4. Select the Adjust Properties button.

For setting a property for the data field, a Change Transaction was created when adding this field to the UI.

On the creation of a Change Transaction, the message which comes up is just a message to inform that the Change Transaction needs to be activated for it to be merged.

Resolution

If you want to set a property for the field (for example, to None), then you need to delete the existing Change Transaction and create a new Change Transaction and then Save and Activate the UI.

The changes will then be reflected when you open Adjust Properties.
