Cause

The dropdown shows the Obsolete values, (<name>- obsolete) and this is the standard behavior.


However, when obsolete value is selected, it results into error, preventing user from selecting this obsolete values.

Resolution

These values in the dropdown are populated during the system runtime, and as these fields might still be used by some few customers before they become obsolete, we will not be removing them from the list but mark them as Obsolete and prevent any new usage of the same.
