  Check Task Status: Verify the status of the task or process you are working on. If it is already in progress or completed, you will not be able to change the start date and time.
  Review Input Fields: Ensure that you are not trying to enter values into the start date and time fields if they are already populated. If you need to make changes, you may need to look for alternative fields or processes.
