why state field they taken as integer why not string or choice??

[Dr Atul G- LNG]

Hi @KM SN 

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. 

[KM SN]

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
