Katalyst: Users cannot edit experiment metadata after certain workflow steps

Description

• After moving an experiment through certain workflow states (e.g., internal review, approval), users can no longer edit:
  • Title, description, project, or other metadata fields.
• This behavior is by design in some workflows, but users may not expect it.

Solution

• Review workflow configuration:
  • Identify which workflow states mark experiments as read‑only for certain fields.
  • Confirm whether this aligns with your organization’s data‑governance policy.
• If metadata must be editable:
  • Adjust workflow settings to allow editing in those states.
  • Alternatively, introduce an intermediate state (e.g., “Under Review – Editable”) before fully locking the record.
• For existing experiments:
  • An admin may temporarily move the experiment back to an editable state, adjust metadata, and then re‑finalize if policy allows.
  • Ensure any such changes are logged/audited.
