Remove auto fill metadata's from AI generated Blueprints

With the recent enhancement, AI can generate Blueprints from images and text. However, during blueprint generation, the AI is automatically populating activity-level metadata such as Cycle Time, Cost, Risk, and other attributes. These are sensitive business details and should not be populated automatically without business validation and approval.

Once a blueprint is generated, removing these values from each individual activity is a time-consuming and manual effort.

As a result, we do not wish to use this feature within our bank. We understand that there is an AI Guidelines option available and would like to request an enhancement to either:

  • Completely disable the automatic population of metadata fields (such as Cycle Time, Cost, Risk, etc.) during AI-generated blueprint creation within our Blueworks Live spaces, or

  • Provide a configurable setting within AI Guidelines to prevent these fields from being auto-filled.

Our requirement is to ensure that sensitive activity metadata is entered only after business review and not generated automatically by AI.
