Hi @Alon Grod

Resolution

This is expected behavior. OOB flows that are read-only cannot be reactivated or modified by standard admin users. Only users with the Maint role can activate OOB read-only flows. 

  • If customization is required, create a copy of the OOB flow.
  • The copied flow can be activated and edited as needed.
  • Continue using the copied version for any changes or customizations.

 

  1. Understand that OOB change flows are read-only by default.
  2. Admin users cannot reactivate these read-only flows.
  3. To make modifications or activate a flow, create a copy and use the copied version moving forward.
