With the appropriate permissions, you can create and maintain status types. Status types can be edited individually or in bulk.
Editing status types in bulk opens a list of the common fields for the selected status types. Selecting multiple status types of the same data type (for example, Number, Date, or Multi) offers more common fields for bulk changes. On the Bulk Change Status Types page, status types selected for bulk changes are listed at the top. These status types can still be selected or deselected for changes. Additionally, the current selection for all common fields appears, along with other options, and a checkbox to the left of each field is automatically selected when a bulk change is identified. Saving the page enacts your changes to all selected status types.
Note: The Type column in the settings table indicates the types for which this attribute is appropriate.
