Describe the issue
Can you reliably reproduce the issue?

This is designated situation, but might need to state somewhere in GUI (when reissue?)
We've discussed this. It is possible to make an asset more divisible (if still reissuable), but not less, if there are code changes and it is adopted as a consensus rule.
The reason it can't become less divisible is that people might already own 0.00001, and if you made it non-divisible (units = 0) then what do you do with that person's asset holdings? Making it more divisible is a display issue, and 0.00001 becomes 0.00001000. All assets are integer values (of sats/corbies) at the base layer.
Another discussion took place that it would be possible to reduce the units (less-divisible) if the asset has never changed hands. This is trickier to code because it would require checking at multiple points (mempool, when adding a block, and reorgs) to make sure that no transfers have been made of the asset.
Some kind of info to the user, when creating/reissuing, informing that it can only be increased would be nice. And simple.
In case of sub-asset, when try to re-issue, the 'UNIT' field is not locked. The result does not change the unit, however, it would be good to make consistent with main asset.
