When someone changes a custom transaction line field value on one of the lines in an Opportunity, a related Prospect gets its Status changed to match that Opportunity's status. Why does that happen? Is there a way to stop it from happening?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The behavior you're observing, where a Prospect's status changes to match an Opportunity's status when a custom transaction line field value is changed, is likely due to the inherent system-controlled processes in NetSuite. When a transaction (like an Opportunity) is created or modified against a Prospect record, the system automatically updates the status of the Prospect to match the Opportunity. This is a platform-level action that occurs before any workflow actions run. To stop this from happening, you might consider creating custom statuses to break the automatic progression. However, this would require careful planning and testing to ensure it doesn't interfere with other processes in your system. Alternatively, you could create a scheduled workflow that triggers on the Prospect status and changes it back to its original status if the Opportunity's custom transaction line field value is changed. This would essentially reverse the automatic status change after it occurs. Please note that these solutions may not be perfect and could have unintended side effects, so it's important to thoroughly test any changes in a sandbox environment before implementing them in your live system. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
