Question

Material Type attribute should not update when we are updating Part through import from spreadsheet

In Windchill, the "Material Type" attribute of a Part or Product is not editable through the user interface (UI), which aligns with our expected system behavior. However, we have observed that when updating Parts or Products via the Importable Spreadsheet functionality, it is currently allowing updates to the "Material Type" attribute.

 

Is it possible to customize the behavior such that, during spreadsheet import, if a change to the "Material Type" is detected, the system blocks the import and throws an appropriate error?
