It is unable to change the value in extension filed in task view which has been created and modified in related production order general tab.

The extension field which created under the production order general tab will only be updated during the creation of the task. As soon as the production order is released, a production task will get created and the extension field will be updated.

Once the production task is created, it cannot be updated again under the general tab. The extension field value will not flow from a production order to a production task.

This is a standard system behavior.
