Why is the approval status field editable? Do I need to set it as disabled in my workflow or remove approval workflow permissions for this particular role?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The Approval Status field is editable because it is designed to allow users with the appropriate permissions to manually change the approval status of a record. This is particularly useful in situations where a record needs to be approved or rejected outside of the normal workflow process. However, if you want to restrict this ability, there are a couple of options you can consider: 1. Set Field Display Type: You can use the 'Set Field Display Type' action in your workflow to disable the Approval Status field. This will make the field uneditable for users when they are viewing a record that is currently in the workflow. However, please note that once a record exits the workflow, any conditions set in the workflow will no longer apply, and the field may become editable again. 2. Role Permissions: You can also consider adjusting the permissions for the particular role. By removing the 'Approval Workflow' permission, users with that role will not be able to change the approval status of a record. Remember, the best approach will depend on your specific business requirements and how you want to manage your approval process. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
