2761158 - Manage Mass Changes for Metadata Objects : Object Type To Be Changed field missing a dropdown

• Manage Mass Changes for Metadata Objects feature is used to make changes simultaneously to large number of MDF objects.
• However, when trying to create a new Mass change Run, the "Object Type To Be Changed" field is not selectable, therefore not allowing the user to pick an object to make changes upon.

1. Navigate to Manage Mass Changes for Metadata Objects
2. The field : "Object Type To Be Changed" seems to be having no dropdown to be able to select a value

This issue is due to a Missing or an Incorrect Configuration

• This tool is currently supported for Position and Time Account Change Calendar objects. Hence, Position Management and Time Off Need to be enabled on the Instance.
• If that is enabled, check if the visibility of the field : objectTypeToBeChanged on Configure Object Definitions -> Mass Change Run -> details of the field.
• This needs to be set to Editable.

Just one observation, the MassChangeRun and field objectTypeToBeChanged are not exposed (cannot be used) in the SF OData APIs.
