I couldn't reproduce easily either (perhaps it was releated to review10461002), but here I found one occurence:
on tip with review11461002 applied:
- Get a database with module production installed (like scenario_production.rst).
- New production
- Select product
- On field BOM make new BOM
- On the new BOM hit New on Inputs
-> Quantity is already shown in red, others in violet.
Depends on how design is defined. From the point of view of the user
- this behavior is different from previous version
- is disturbing and doesn't make sense ("Why are fields turning to red, while I am filling in values?" It feels like punishment without cause...)
I would really wish, we could have back the previous behavior for a better user experience.
