Displaying or Hiding the Status Field for a Custom Transaction Type
If you've created statuses, you can display the Status field on transaction instances. When available, the Status field appears on the standard entry form as a list that the user can set.
Be aware that when you display the Status field, you make it available to anyone who has permission to edit instances of the transaction type using the standard entry form. However, you may want to limit access to the Status field. You may have users who need to create and edit transaction instances but shouldn't be permitted to change the Status field. In these situations, you should complete two tasks:
-
Make the field available for the transaction type, as described in Configuring the Transaction Type to Include the Status Field in the UI.
-
Use custom forms and permissions to refine how and for which roles the field is available, as described in Controlling User Access to the Status Field for Custom Transactions.
