Even though "Allow Editing" is checked for the Allocation attribute on the Team Staff and Team Detail pages, you cannot edit Allocations. On the Team - Detail page, it allows you to edit the field, but your change is not saved.
Expected Result: The Allocation field becomes editable and you are able to update the resource's allocation to a different value
Actual Result: The field is read-only, and you are unable to edit the allocation
Expected Result: The Allocation value is saved successfully
Actual Result: The Allocation value reverts back to the original value prior to edit.
The allocation field is a calculated field and cannot be edited manually.
The only way to modify the Allocation field is to change the Default Allocation % field. The Default Allocation % field computes the Allocation field by taking the Allocation value and multiplying it by the Allocation percentage. For example, if the Allocation value is 512 and the Allocation % is 100%, if you want the Allocation value to be changed to 128, change the Default Allocation % to 25. To figure out what the Allocation % should be to get your value, divide the value you want the Allocation to be (128) by the current Allocation value (512) to get 128/512 = .25 (enter it as 25 for Allocation % since it is a percentage value).
