Question

Make it impossible for users to change status back to previous status by mistake

Hello all,

Right now I am working on a policy tracker for the insurance company that I work for. To track the status of each policy in its lifecycle, I am using a dropdown. Every time a user chooses a new status and saves the record, the status gets saved in a child table called 'Status Log'. To make it so that a user cannot choose a previous step by mistake, could I make it so that when a user chooses the next status, all the previous statuses become 'read-only' or something to that effect?

If there's a strict order in which these records go from one Status to another, you could always setup the change in Status to be initiated by a button instead. So, say it's in "Quote Sent" status, your button could say something like "Submit to [Next Status]".
