RE: Create Inactive record

Hey Andrew,

I have created a active record and updated the status so I am sorted :)

Thanks

RE: Create Inactive record

Then I will suggest you a small trick

1. Add some flag field to entity and import it along with entity - it will mean that record should be deactivated after creation.

2. Add Real-Time workflow that will trigger on Create of record, check flag field from step 1 and then deactivate record.

Simple, fast and does what you want.

I tried to add status value along with other fields but it is not taking and I am bulk creating the records :(

Hello,

You can try to pass statecode/statuscode along with the list of other fields. If this wouldn't work - deactivate it immediately after creation.
