Lead Status Picklist Not Available For Editing

Question

I'd like the Lead Status picklist to contain different values depending on Record Type, but the Lead Status field isn't available for editing as I would expect with other dependent picklists. Lead Status is available and on the page layout for both Record Types, as suggested here. The end goal is for both record types to have a unique Path. I've seen some answers suggesting that I use Support Processes, but I'm not sure how this could be done.

EDIT: Resolved by using Lead Processes

Answer 1

The configuration of Lead Statuses by record type is done by:

• Setting up Lead Processes (typically, one per record type). Note these are deployed as metadata type BusinessProcess
• Assign your Lead recordtype(s) to a business process by editing the record type
• Then you edit the Lead Statuses by Lead business process

This technique is also used for Opportunities (StageName), Cases (Status), and Solutions (Status).
