Who can edit a submitted DCR?

Only users assigned to the open DCR task can edit values, either as the original requester or as a reviewer. This capability is governed by configuration and metadata permissions.

Once a DCR is approved or rejected, it becomes immutable and can no longer be modified.

How does the edit experience work in the UI?

When the feature is enabled, a Review DCR button appears in the DCR right-side panel for eligible tasks. Selecting the button opens a full-screen dialog that displays the DCR details and the Suggested changes block.

This block groups changes by entity and allows you to:

• Edit attribute values
• Reject or approve individual changes
• Undo recent edits

Each line shows the attribute title, its previous value, the editable field, and status such as Updated or Rejected.

You can suggested changes for simple, nested, and reference attributes.

After the changes are approved or rejected, if comments are required by configuration, the system will prompt you to enter them before finalizing the task.

Validation and permissions

You can edit DCR values only if you are assigned the the INITIATE_CHANGE_REQUEST metadata permission. Fields are automatically disabled in the UI if you lack this permission.

The system performs local validation when you edit or reject required attributes. You can't save the DCR if the update would result in an invalid entry, for example, by removing a required attribute not present in the original object.

How edits are saved

When you save edits, the system compares the DCR against the original and performs these operations:

• Rejected changes are removed (DELETE)
• Modified values are updated (PUT)
• Unchanged attributes are ignored in the update process

How to enable this feature

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, a configuration change is required. See Enable DCR edit mode in the UI.
