2733655 - How to Change From Operating Time to Shift Program for an Equipment Resource

You migrate Equipment Resources using the migration template. In this template, you maintain "418 - Shift Program" in the column Active Operating Time Type. However, after the migration, the system defaultes this to "422 – Operating Time", and when you try to change this in the application, the system throws the error message: "Changing the time type not possible; delete the maintained data first".
