Edit imported view object's attribute datatype after saving -- but before db config

Scenario: Create an imported view object in db config. Save the object. We need to change a field type, but can't because the fields are read-only. It seems like it should be possible to edit saved object attribute datatypes -- before db config is...

If the Path Selector (Linear) is used to select a target location, you will receive an error message “BMXAA3616E – Select an asset or location for this route stop.”. It seems that the original design did not consider that a target location would b...

Allow for the deletion of the last remain line on a PO with a revision created by the MIF using IFace tables.
