With the new rule about changing data blocks in some one else's airspace people are routinely either calling on every climbing or descending aircraft to get control; slowing the sector down to sometimes unsafe conditions or just changing the data block which is against the rules. This needs to be fixed now!Change the rule fast before this causes an accident.
ZAU Controller describes a rule change about data blocks and how people are calling for permission to change the data block creating more work for the sector.
