A Workflow Base Input Profile has two Import Workflow Profiles where Channels are NOT applied. What will happen if one Import is locked?

• A. The other import step will NOT be locked.
• B. The data from the other will clear.
• C. The other Import step will lock.
• D. The Import step will automatically be certified.

Answer: (C)

When a Workflow Base Input Profile contains two Import Workflow Profiles that share the same channel context (no Channels applied), the system treats edits to the profile as a whole. Locking one Import Step signals that the profile is being edited and prevents other steps from changing concurrently. Because there are no channels to differentiate the two imports, the lock propagates to the other Import Step to keep the entire base profile consistent. As a result, the other Import step becomes locked. This is not about data clearing or automatic certification—the lock is a protection mechanism, and the behavior described is specific to how locks cascade within a base input profile with multiple import steps when channels aren’t used.
