Editing Opportunity Status

SOLVED

Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice regarding amending stages and statuses for opportunities and leads.

When a sales rep clicks on 'Change' on the summary screen of an opportuntiy, the only section that is editable is the Details section as in the image below

Is there a reason why the user is unable to amend the Status section from this screen? I have a group of sales reps who want to be able to do this as the 'Stage field' may change from something like 'Proposal Submitted' to 'Demo Arranged' but the 'Status' field would remain as 'In Progress'.

I can do this without issue as a system admin but I obviously do not want to give anyone else those permissions unnecessarily. Is there another way to achieve this?

The user I picked as an example would seem to have the View/Edit/Ins/Del rights to do this so I am unsure what I am doing wrong

Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks,

Paul

    Hi Paul,

    You would need to review the actions carried out by Workflow - and where necessary add in more options to 'Display Field for Amendment' for these fields. 

    If you're not too sure about editing the Workflow I would suggest speaking to your Business Partner and look to review what is there, sounds like it currently doesn't suit your sales process.
