You can only change certain control indicators

What causes this issue?

You want to change a master inspection characteristic. Certain control
indicators cannot be changed. Others can only be changed with care.


&Example&
<ZH>Example 1</>: The master inspection characteristic is either
included in a material specification or in a task list as a reference,
and changes are made without history.
If the "Sampling procedure" or "SPC characteristic" is set, a change to
the other control indicators can lead to inconsistencies, since
sampling procedures that are included in material specifications and
task lists may no longer be compatible with the control indicators.
Once you have changed the control indicators, you should therefore
check the task lists and material specifications, in which the master
inspection characteristic is included as a reference.
In this example, the following control indicators cannot be changed:
Characteristic attribute
Lower specification limit
Upper specification limit
Check target value
Sampling procedure
SPC characteristic
Test equipment assignment
Calculated characteristic
<ZH>Example 2</>: The master inspection characteristic is linked to a
numeric class characteristic. In this example, the following control
indicators canot be changed :
Lower specification limit
Upper specification limit
Confirm values
Classed recording
All other control indicators can be changed, provided that conditions
in example 1 do not apply.
<ZH>Example 3</>: The master inspection characteristic is linked to a
class characteristic that has a reference to a selected set. In this
example, the following control indicators cannot be changed:
Characteristic attribute
All other control indicators can be changed, provided that conditions
in example 1 do not apply
