Restricting Asset Statuses after Asset Completion


(Eliseo Dannunzio) #1

Hi everyone,

 

The system we're developing with Matrix 5.3 has got a new business requirement which has me a little stumped. I've been asked to restrict statuses of newly and previously created assets by removing the "Under Construction" status option from the details screen once the system is aware that the asset is made live.

 

Is this type of functionality possible? We already have a publishing workflow on various asset types, but I think the point of this request was to force our users to get their assets out there and not halt the workflow; "create it then publish it"...

 

Is there a way to remove a specific status option from individual assets? Would there be a way of implementing this through a trigger once an asset's status is changed to "Live"?

 

Thanks in advance.

You can't in Admin but you could create a custom JS plugin for Edit+ to remove that option from the drop down list if that would suit your requirement?
