Follow-up WO: Don't inherit classification from originating WO

When I create a follow-up WO...

...the WO inherits the original WO's classification...

...even though the WO2WO crossover domain doesn't include the classification field:

This is done inside of the WO class without a way to turn it off.


Could IBM please make it so we can optionally disable inheriting the classification?

Reason:

If we're creating a follow-up WO, we wouldn't usually be doing the exact same kind of work to the exact same asset (twice in a row). That wouldn't make much sense. We would usually do a different kind of work to the asset.

It's confusing to automatically inherit the classification. Users don't always notice, which results in incorrect follow-up WOs being made.

    Thank you for your feedback and ideas. Unfortunately, after evaluating this idea, we have determined that it doesn’t align with our near-term priorities and roadmap strategy. Please don't hesitate to resubmit for re-evaluation after 12 months if you feel it is still valid and important. Thank you again for your feedback.
