why is the resources locked and can't a new resource to project?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, there could be several reasons why resources are locked and you can't add a new resource to a project: 1. Employee Record Not Set as Resource: On the HR tab of the employee record, there should be a 'project resource' or 'is resource' checkbox. If this is not checked, the employee will not be available as a resource for projects. 2. Resource Allocation Copied from Original Project: When using the standard 'make copy' feature on a project, it copies the resource allocation to the new project. If the original project's resources are locked, the copied project will also have the same locked resources. 3. Project Templates and Generic Resources: When creating Project Templates, the resources from the base project are not used. Instead, Generic Resources are used. Once the project has been created from the template, the correct resources can then be added. Remember to check these points if you're having trouble adding resources to a project. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
