Our High Priest Group leader was trying to update their HT routes and when he tried to add a new assignment he gets a message "The bishop must record this assignment." I tried as well and get the same message. Did something change that only the Bishop can make changes to routes? Any ideas why this is doing this?

Is it for just that assignment?

I helped our HPGL the other day and everything worked okay. Maybe there's something in one of their records that needs the bishop's approval?

Most likely there is a confidential issue regarding one of the home teachers or the family which requires that the bishop be involved before making the assignment. Check with the bishop in a private setting. If he doesn't know then he can try to make the assignment and it should tell him what the issue is.

The HP group leader should be able to make other assignments still.
