Again, if there isn’t Qantas-elal award availability, there’s no way to change. Not sure why you think you should be able to. If there is, no one has to call elal, it’s a simple change.
Saying that even if you see open seats on elal can't get it because most likely it's not released as award for qantas which is the case now, if booked on elal much easier to change a flight because they would gladly change it.

Is that a question or statement

Either way, yes that’s the way it works with every partner award. Pros and Cons of partner awards…
