Is it possible to make a Custom Transaction Body field Inactive via the XML definition? I can’t seem to find the syntax in the documentation.

haven't tried before but maybe this?
```&lt;inactive&gt;T&lt;/inactive&gt;```

<@UKNAAR40K> that was the first strategy I tried. Doesn’t seem to have any ewffect unfortunately.

that's unfortunate :confused: did isinactive also not work?

all out of low hanging fruit heh. like you, I don't see anything in the documentation for it

so strange because it seems as if that’s an option for everything else.

Can you inactive a Custom Body Transaction field in the UI

but we are trying to avoid UI-based updates because we can’t track the changes over time like we can from the SDF repo

I experimented with making the field Inactive in the UI and then updating the XML object, but it doesn’t actually create any element that indicates it’s Inactive.

In fact, if you do a Compare Objects they report as being the same.

<@UMLJNCLVC> Try "update custom object from account", it will bring all non-mandatory data to your object xml. You will be able to see all elements in xml.

Be careful to save your local changes somewhere as this will overwrite the local xml with prod xml (in addition you will have all the optional elements/fields in your updated xml)

I will give that a try this morning <@UFUCXSXCJ>
