3547484 - Read-Only Setting for Extension Fields via Adaptation Mode is Disabled

Symptom

  • An SDK development, containing several extension fields on the project (master data) screen, has been deployed.
  • Some of these extension fields have been modified via adaptation mode to make them read-only.
  • The need is to revert these fields back to being editable, but the option is grayed out.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Project Management work center.
  2. Go to Projects view.
  3. Select any project.
  4. Scroll down and select Basic Data sub-tab
  5. Some fields are grayed out
  6. In adaptation mode , select the Extension field
  7. Right click on field and see read-only property is disabled

Cause

The issue is caused by many adjustments to PDI fields.

Resolution

As this is a custom solution, the issue should be addressed by the partner responsible for it. The partner needs to modify the content of the CT and update the property to "read-only" for the fields using the Extensibility Explorer.
