Error while saving in Attributes the JCL for Generated jobs

Issue/Introduction

JCL cannot be saved on v24 when you open a job in the monitor view while waiting for manual release and then make a change in the JCL, we are getting the following error in the attributes tab of their job under the parameter

"Job Group": <JOBP>
"Only these characters are allowed: A-Z, 0-9, and $ @ _ - . #"

It seems AWI v24 does a validation of the value <JOBP> and that's why it fails, this was not done on v21 or previous versions and should not be done as this field is "read-only" and greyed out:

Environment
