"Short Description" column is grayed out (read-only) in Project WorkspaceA user created a case asking why the "Short Description" (short_description) field was seemingly disabled in Project Workspace on the Project Task list. After speaking with the Project Portfolio Management Development team, it was confirmed that the graying out (or making read-only) of the "Short Description" field was to prevent customers from removing all columns accidentally from the Project Workspace. So, to avoid this from happening, ServiceNow Development hard-coded that the field should be read-only, ensuring that at least one column would be displayed in the Project Workspace for Project Tasks at all times. This cannot be changed, and is intended/by-design.
