Error description
Problem: The IBM Spectrum Protect Plus backup wizard set options panel might display a pop up dialog for a selected VMware guest with information similar to the following example: "Conflicting Options Detected Conflicting options have been detected for the vm <vmname>. To fix this conflict, you can override to options on vm <vmname> or cancel the changes to keep the parent options. vCenter name |> Datacenter name |>Folder (conflict: [conflicting option]) |> Subfolder (conflict: [conflicting option]) |> VMname The dialog displays folders in the vSphere hierarchy for which a conflicting option was detected. The path shown can be incomplete (e.g. missing intermediate folders) or the VM being referenced is not shown in the correct folder. It might for example be located in a different folder at the same level from the parent folder. IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.x Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: SPP, SPPLUS, TS003974965, GUI, Conflict
Local fix
Explicitly set the conflicted property on the conflicted item. For example, if the proxy selection is in conflict for a VM, explicitly setting the proxy selection for that VM will resolve the issue.

Problem conclusion
The IBM Spectrum Protect Plus UI was improved to display the sources of a conflict for an options conflict. These sources now provide enough information for a user to resolve the source of the conflict or set the option value for an object directly to resolve the conflict (i.e., override the conflicting option).
