    No worries, I have been working with Anaplan for more than 7 years and it has always been there, not sure why it hasn't been removed.

    And I thought that it was something big reserved for Supply Chain Use Case or Workflow.

    Any update on this field being available?  I think it would be great to see at a glance the responsible party for each module.  Couldn't it just be made a text field that can be edited?

    There doesn't appear to be any official documentation out on Anapedia about this yet but I have some answers!

    I was just reviewing a new model I'm about to start building with and came across the new delegated field, I gave it a search, which lead me to this thread.

    There was a recent release in May 2024 (before ADO general release), where "delegated?" and "managed by" were put out, their purpose being for ADO. I don't remember seeing anything on this within the ADO certification, but I can see it being very useful.

    "delegate?" locks down editability of modules entirely so that ADO solely controls their contents and prevents model builders changing them in a way that would break ADO (my assumption). Once "delegated?" is ticked "managed by" changes from blank to including "ADO" so that you know ADO is managing the module & its contents.

    IMHO: it seems unlikely that "managed by" would be a free field only to show "ADO" so I think it is likely that other "managers" could be coming in the future… but what do I know!
