How to add active functionality

[Aru1]

I am trying to setup a filter form customization in which I want to add an Active field on filter form, under the system defination. Since the form is not having active field, hence I added a field type true/false in form design under  form configuration. Below are the images of it. 

issue:

please help me for configuring this field to work as normal active field . Also provide if any alternate method to accomplish the job.

The active field under task only has utility because of the ACLS, filters, and dicctionary attributes we set. 

You may want to consider extending the Task table for this custom table OR just  use filters- AKA module- All active record - filter Active = True  and some Business rules- when state = x Active - false. Then things start taking care of themself

I would recommend before you take customization steps or want to copy functionality you study how existing functionality works. See if you can use what exist or copy it. Also when you extend the task table you inherit all the fields and scripts. So i believe you created a table that didnt extend task- and that may be for a good reason but knowing when to do that and when not to is important
