I need your guidance on updating the State field choices in the Security Incident [sn_si_incident] table within the SIR scope.
Currently, the State field displays the OOTB values — Draft, Analysis, Contain, Eradicate, Recover, Resolved, Closed.
I would like to modify these to align with our standard workflow as follows:
New
In Progress
On Hold
Escalate
Resolved
Closed
Could you please advise on the correct approach to update the OOTB State field within the SIR scope, preferably without creating a new field?
If any configuration steps or permissions are required (e.g., using a dictionary override or process definition update), when i remove that existing felid its showing in the form ,
So what happened when i refresh new choice will be visible and suddenly back to existing choices,
please guide me on the process.

Pointers
-> If you don't want to use the OOTB ones then remove those by Right Click Field -> Configuring -> Choices
-> Move the choices from right to left
-> then add your new ones
-> Save & this adds the choices only for your table + state field

it should work fine.
-> I did the same for sc_task state field and added my own choices
-> also check default value for State field and you can add Dictionary Override and set your own Default value with the choice value you just now created

@Ankur Bawiskar Thank you for replay
It should work within the same scope; however, since the Task table is in the Global scope and I want to modify the State field in the SIR scope, it shows an error stating that changes cannot be made in the SIR scope because the table is in the Global scope.
