This SE addresses the below MU/Flattening issues and enhancements:

  1. Create a producttemplate and create product and plans from it. Now create copy from entities, for already created product and plans. Now run massupdate for producttemplate, in the target list screen the copied entities of product and plan are not retrieved.

  2. Flattened result (and data extracts) of product and plans is enhanced to include a new property to show the Network level covered/not covered/required/not required indicators.

  3. Mass update of product template/product and plans is enhanced to have an option to edit covered and required fields in “update used” and “add used scenarios”.
