Exclude Attributes Mode should be automatically set to read-only for Report Object Structures

From the IBM Support (Case #TS007660791):

"This behaviour is not a Bug. This is because the “Exclude Attributes Mode” option in Object Structures was made for Consumed By = INTEGRATION, but not for Consumed By = REPORTING.

The documentation in a future Maximo 7.6.1.x version will be updated to mention this current restriction (the “Exclude Attributes Mode” checkbox only currently applies to INTEGRATION-type Object Structures).

We do not have a workaround for this issue you are currently facing.


RFE:

If that limitation will exist in future versions of Maximo, then at the very least, the Exclude Attributes Mode field should be automatically set to read-only for Report Object Structure child objects.


Or alternatively, this related RFE could be implemented instead:
Object Structures: Exclude Attributes Mode should work for Report Object Structures too.
