Lock Existing Values

This option doesn't allow users to create a new workspace using previously added values of specific metadata, locking the existing metadata.

When a new Unique Metadata field in Configure Wizard is added, the option to Lock Existing Values displays. If Lock Existing Values is selected as Yes, Create a new value option should be automatically selected as Yes. The option No should be disabled. Also, the Default Value option is disabled.

If the Metadata with Lock Existing Values option is 'No', then users can only add values to Metadata by clicking the '+' button. After the user enters values for that Metadata, there is a validation to check if that value already exists. If the value already exists, the user should not be able to save that value.

E.g. Lock existing set to yes and is parent set to yes, means the unique metadata field matter will not allow inputting duplicate matters if any parent matters exist. If no for parent, and yes for lock, then if the metadata exists in entire system, then the value can't be added.
