Changes may be done to already published descriptions in their acceptability, case sensitivity and description status (active/inactive). However, description text cannot be changed. Should this be required, the description should be retired and a new one created. The description type cannot be changed, i.e., a synonym cannot become a text definition or a fully specified name. The fields for the description text and description type appear grayed out and no actions are allowed.
