Make the Category field in the Interaction and Incident forms read-only

In Classic systems, the category field in the Interaction and Incident forms are not read-only; users can change the category of an interaction. However, in Process Designer-based systems, this field is used to determine the specific workflow that the interaction or incident follows. If the category changes, the interaction may need to use a new workflow and forms, but this will not happen if the field is modified directly in the form. Therefore, we recommend that you make the Category field read-only.

To correctly change the category of an interaction or incident, use the new Change Category menu option that is automatically created by the Applications Upgrade Utility. This ensures that the correct workflow is used.
