Dave,
I can understand Prakash's request, as I have users that want to fill in all necessary info when creating project, on one screen. They don't like entering a small bit of stuff on one screen, only to hit save and then see that they have to fill in a bunch of other stuff. Our issue is more project type specific, rather than BU specific, as we want all BU's running projects the same way with the same content, based on project type and corresponding process.
I know its one click/save, and we don't create that many projects every day. But still, users will complain - and why not? Would entering everything on one page, without an additional click/save be better? Would it be better if we could do this without having to create custom workarounds? Yes, fewer clicks must be better - this must be true. But how much better compared to other things we need in the app?
Its not a huge problem that needs fixing right away - except in the sense that such 'field level security' is something that I and others have been asking for since Niku 6's introduction in 2002.
In the meantime, because waiting on CA can be a long wait, agree that Prakash should consider the suggestions made here. That's what we have been doing.
