Hey guys,

I have a table extended from the task table and have a few new states that I have added to it. Is there a way to set these states as inactive states without setting up a business rule, so that whenever one of these states is selected, the active field is automatically switched to false?

Thanks,

Raed

Thanks for your reply Sachin. Just curious though. How are the current states on the task table set as inactive right now. Do they already have a business rule in place for it?

Hi Raed,



TaskStateUtil script include is used OOB to set task state attributes.

Please check below

I hope the below option helps,
Navigate to Config Dictionary on your state Field --> Go to Dictionary Override --> (Check if you have dictionary override on your required table) > Create new or open the existing one and add your custom choices to closed states 

Ex :default_work_state=2,close_states=6;7;8,default_close_state=7
