  5. Do a test according to the condition of UI Rule
  6. Noticed that the field is editable but the translation is not

    Result in Manage data or Manage position.png

Cause

Translation follows the configuration of the field itseld in Manage Configuration UI.

Resolution

The editability of the translation of field is depending on the configuration of the field itself in Manage Configuration UI. If the field itself is configured as editable then the text fields for translation will become editable and vice versa and it will not follow the UI Rule.

If this is needed for the business requirement of the customer then enhancement request should be raised. Please follow KBA: 2090228
