Why plan start and end date fields are editable post Authorize state?

sekarpdkt · ‎11-25-2017

I am finding these two fields are editable till end. Ideally post authorized by CAB (mean in Scheduled / Implement / Review state), in case of normal change, these fields shall not be editable. Any reason why these are kept editable? I tested this in Istanbul instance. I can add UI-Policies etc, but want to know the reason behind it.

Thanks.

What we did:

1) created a UI Policy to make Planned Start & Planned End read-only if State is not New.

2) created a UI Action that:

- Returns the state back to New so Planned Dates can be changed. (Happy to provide the full script if you need it)

3) Modified oob Business rule named - SNC Approval - Reset conditions

- Business Rule will reset the workflow

Note: the business rule has lots of comments to explain how it works exactly.

For the Reset Condition we are using: if (current.state.changesTo("-5"))

so reset triggers when State changes back to New

Then we're using Option 2 in the BR:

new WorkflowApprovalUtils().reset(current, comment);

current.approval = 'not requested';

gs.addInfoMessage('Workflow has been reset since Planned Dates have been modified');

This should give you the basics

I had same issue. When I tried to push back that post approval, we shall not change the planned dates, but found that OOTB it was allowed. Now forced to do lots of customisation.
