Cross checking with two other Maximo instances I had access to, I confirmed that Out Of The Box the field should not be read-only, it should be read-write. The field in question was the Nested Job Plan field. Here it is: (NB: It is no longer greyed out - I have already fixed it - see below) Figure1:                   To correct this I had to export the application... [More]
