- An active revision of the obsolete work task template revision must exist in the system.
- The connected PM action must be in the Preliminary or Active status.
System Effects
- If the obsolete work task template revision is connected to a PM action in Preliminary status, this PM
Action will be updated with the active work task template revision
- If the obsolete work task template revision is connected to a PM action in Active status, a new
