MY thought, to make the code easy and simple, like a user while writing code can use In-progress or Inprogress but if the value is integer it is safe and secure.

I would like to follow this question.

we can make field type as choice and can give integers as values right? what special in it?

Hi @KM SN ,

Integer field type gives sorting, indexing and comparison operations , String and choice are less efficient to do.

Mark it helpful and solution proposed if it serves your purpose.

Thanks,

Anand
