# Edit Checklist

:lock: Checklist.**Edit**

## Overview

This operation is used to Edit a **Checklist**.  

## Setup

No specific setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The **Checklist** must exist in the system and be in either a Created or Active state.
* When updating the Execution Mode from Long Running to Immediate, there cannot exist any version of the **Checklist** with the Track Execution Time property set to `true`.
* When updating the Scope or Execution Mode:
    * No version of the **Checklist** may reference a **BOM**.
    * No version of the **Checklist** may have a Material Deviation Protocol defined.
    * No version of the **Checklist** may reference a **Data Collection**, unless the **Checklist** scope is Material Tracking and remains unchanged.
* When updating the Execution Mode and the Scope is Material Tracking:
    * Updates are not possible from Immediate to Long-Running if there is an Operation column value in the [[materialchecklistcontext-st]] Smart Table different from `TrackIn`, `PerformSetup` or `PerformSetupNoChangeover`. However, updates are possible if there is no reference to an Operation.

## Sequence of Steps

The Edit Checklist wizard can be called from the **Checklist** page within the Business Data Group.
