Reproducing the Issue

Please follow the steps below to repeat a typical scenario:

  1. Log in to the tenant.
  2. Go to New Business > Service Quotes, and open a service quote.
  3. Start adaptation mode.
  4. Click the plus icon in the adaptation panel, and select the option "extension field."
  5. Create a KUT field.
  6. Upon saving, the error message "Field Creation Failed" raises.
  7. Refresh the page, repeat steps 1-4.
  8. The field just created will appear in the extension field list, however, the indicator "Is Consistent" is false. Thus, the field cannot be added to the screen.
