Using a withdrawn rule to mask a rule in a locked version

You cannot delete a rule that belongs to a locked ruleset version. However, using the Withdrawn availability setting, you can mask that rule so that rule resolution never finds it.

For example, assume the unwanted rule belongs to Alpha:02-10-15, which is locked, and that current development involves Alpha:02-11-07. To mask the unwanted rule:

  1. Open the unwanted rule.
  2. Use the Save As toolbar button to copy the rule into version 02-11-07.
  3. Change the Availability of the copy to Withdrawn.
