How to restrict the users from initiating a change request only on released (State) drawings?

Can you see the transition rules for the lifecycle used by EPM Document (drawing) if it has the highlighted check boxes enabled?

I suppose changing this should not allow Change Request from 'Released state.

Sameer,

unfortunately this is not correct. It is just defining the end state of the objects to which they get promoted when the ECN gets completed. So this is related to implementation of changes and the release.

CoolWindchill,

to achieve what you want you need a minor customization. You need to change the action validator which checks if the ECR action should be available or not. But this is only part of the job.

I guess you should be still able to create a ECR from a folder without having any data assoviated. In this case you would like to prevent that users add unreleased stuff to the affected table and released objects to the resulting table. You can control this manually, in the collectors add the status column for example. Or you need again some cutomization to prevent this.
