Honor global data restriction in child WO table control

Scenario - table control doesn't honor global data restriction: (WOTRACK-->Plans/Actuals tabs-->Child WO table control) I created a data restriction that would make the WO.PARENT attribute read-only -- WHERE ISTASK=0. https://i.stack.imgur.c...

Use classification drilldown/tree on custom persistent fields

It would be helpful if we could use the classification drilldown/tree on custom persistent fields. Currently, that's not possible because the Java class is hard-coded to only work in specific parts of Maximo (like the Advanced Search). We want to ...

Job Plan Conditions should work with PM/JP/Route

Currently, Job Plan Conditions aren't honored when WOs are created from a PM that has a Job Plan and a Route. It would be helpful if Maximo could be enhanced so that Job Plan Conditions work in that scenario.
