Cannot change source for backup

Thread needs solution

I've submitted a request to support on this issue but possibly somebody already knows the answer. I've been testing various BU possibilities and cloned one of the BUs that have been running. After cloning I wanted to change the source but when I mouse over the source box nothing happens. I then checked the original BU task and noticed that I could not change it as well. I can change the destination but not the source.

Other than recreating the BU task, any suggestions?

John, all my backups allow me to hover the mouse over the Source panel where this changes the central text to show "Change source", and I have been doing so for some tasks recently without any problem.

Having said the above, I have done a clean install of ATI 2019 a few weeks back because of a completely different problem I was having (which this action resolved).

I decided to recreate the task and fully document all of the screens. With my current testing, I'm creating a lot of BU task and it is easy for me to goof. When I created a new task to replace the task that I could not change the source, in the new task it is working as expected, e.g. I can change the source. I looked at the tib.tis files for each and I did see a difference, in the task that allows me to change the source I see:

</common_options>
                <files>
                    <include>E:\Libraries\Documents\Receipts &amp; Confirmations\</include>
                </files>

            </backup>

This is NOT in the script where I cannot change the source. I added this section to the tib.tis where I cannot change the source but this did not resolve the issue. I may try some other testing but for now, it is history
