Possibility to select a Contribution Version for Control table E705 (Indirect Minority)

In the Control table E700 (Direct Minority) it is possible to select a Contribution Version but for the table E705 (Indirect Minority) it is NOT possible to select a Contribution version. It is only possible to select a Closing Version. This is resulting in incorrect Indirect Minority eliminations created by the system. To avoid this we would like the possibility to select Closing Version but unfortunately this field is locked.

Real scenario: We have several companies which are set up with both direct and indirect minorities. When adding transactions in the menu Shareholding and Investments for Group Companies for a company which has an indirect minority an unwanted E705 elimination is created by the system. We would like exclude the Shareholding transactions from the basis which is used by the system when calculating the E705 eliminations but at this stage it is not possible as the Contribution Version field is "locked" (grey).
