How to edit Standard Change Templates?

Hi Guys,

I am unable to edit standard change templates directly. I tried tweaking the ACL's on the below tables to no available?

- std_change_template

- std_change_record_producer

Any idea how I can edit the records without going the edition process (i.e. Modify template UI action)?

There is a ACL tablename.*. You can add admin role to it and remove the script answer = false;

THen you will have fields editable.

Now the Change Request values is a formatter, which points to below UI macro and keep it readonly. You can't make this field editable.

Hi Sanjiv,

I am not able to edit the UI macro, I am getting 'This item is read-only based on its protection policy.' I don't think there is a way I can get around that, is there?

Also, which specific ACL you are referring to?

This is the one
