Allow Modification

allow modification

Important Logic

(1) If manual selection is made before formula triggers:

• Allow modification: Manual choice remains.
• Disallow modification: Formula result overrides.

(2) If manual selection is made after formula triggers:

• Allow modification: Formula no longer affects the option.
• Disallow modification: Formula re-evaluates and updates the option if conditions change.
