Allow user to edit Asset Code field value on duplicated CU without needing to save the record

Usefulness, Benefit, and Implementation

This idea would be useful because it eliminates a click of the save record button. This idea would benefit users.
With this idea implemented the user would be able to modify the Asset Code field value on a duplicated CU without having to save the record before modifying the value.

Please note, this issue is present when the CU being duplicated has an asset code specified.


Steps to reproduce

1. In the Find Navigation Item field enter Organizations and select the Organizations (T&D) application.

2. Query and select an organization.

3. Under More Actions, hover over T&D Options and select CU Library Options.

4. For Version Control select the radio button beside System Controlled at Parent.

5. Click OK in the CU Library Options dialog.

6. In the Find Navigation Item field enter CU Library and select the CU Library (T&D) application.

7. Search for a CU record that has the asset code field specified. Once found, open the record.

8. Under More Actions, click the Duplicate CU button.

9. On the Duplicated CU the asset code field is read only.


Business Impact

The additional click of the save record button can take approximately 3-5 seconds, which adds up when managing a large CU library that can consist of thousands of records. The additional save also increases the potential for the record updated by another user error to be encountered. If the idea is implemented and 1,000 CU are duplicated there is the potential for the user to save between 50-83 minutes based on the previous estimate for the additional save.
