Introduction
The Issues tab is present only on Master Deployment plans and child Deployment Plans and absent on Independent Deployment Plans.
The Issues tab is where you can raise problems, if any, with the deployment. Raising issues can help keep the delivery on track and return systems to BAU on time.
In Draft mode, on Master Deployment Plans, you can customize the Issue Questions. Issues can only be added when both the child and Master Deployment Plans are in the Approved or Execution modes.
The Issues tab is grayed out in new Master Deployment Plans until 
is clicked.
