Can resource assignments be extended?

Xanadu Patch 1 Hotfix 2a

We recently migrated to resource assignments from resource plans. With resource plans, we were able to extend the plan.  Can resource assignments be extended?

For example, we created operational assignments for admin and ktlo with a start date of 11/10/2024 and an end date of 12/31/2024.  We wanted to extend these assignments to 12/31/2025 but it won't save the change.  Instead of extending, it appears that we need to create new operational assignments starting 01/01/2025 and ending 12/31/2025.

Thank you

@mah1  It is better to create a new assignment.

@dileepsingiredd  thank you...  can you explain why it is better to create a new assignment?

Because the resource assignments do not have the extend feature yet. 

Also creating a new resource assignment is also a simple step.
