Dynamics 365 - "Status Reason" not available as a data type for fields

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

My company is currently using Dynamics 365, and I cannot select 'Status Reason' as a data type for a field. I have tried creating a new field in both our custom solution and the out of the box solution, but both had the same data types, shown below, available. What do I need to do for 'Status Reason' to be available as a data type?

    Thanks for the help. It is both a field and data type, apparently. I found the 'statuscode' field in the default solution, and that field shows as having a datatype of status.

    Status Reason is a field, not a data type, to achieve similar result, you can use data type "option set".  If you need it to behave like status reason (which ties to status), you can use workflow or plugin  have status update the custom field (and vise versa).
