Can I limit / restrict the options for State in sc_req_item based on the Item?

For example some items need to have the State changed to "QC".  Most items do not need this State.  I would like to remove that option of the item does not match specific item.  Is this possible?

Hi @MWright1 

It will increase technical debt and require a lot of customization. It's better to keep it as is.

Alternatively, you can use Flow Designer to set the state and stage for a specific item, but in that case, you would need to create multiple flows to modify it accordingly.

Its bad practice to implement custom state. You have a stage field for this purpose, you should use it. The stage field does not need to be customized to display custom values for a specific item, you can do it by adding a stage in your flow.

 

Here is a good exemple of how it works

Thanks all for your replies.

Unfortunately, we still need to have this new state.
