<p class="MsoNormal">If the system fills in the Assignee from the ADS (which usually doesn't work for me, the Assignee type is indicated as "Organization" with a warning to change to the type. If you do, the system does not save that change. So when you open
the Web-85 form, it'll show "Organization." It will not error as a result though, so you can submit it with the incorrect entity identification. I don't know what happens if you do, because I correct this by going back, deleting the auto-filled entity & re-entering
their data.<o:p></o:p></p>
