Cannot create field (in workflow)

Bugs & Issues
1

Hi,

I was trying to create a new field in the entity used for a workflow state. The field is single select.

I’ve got this error message:

Cannot create Simplifié field
Invalid schema: Invalid database names: workflow/Simplifié_workflow/state_Produit/Solution_acl, workflow/Simplifié_workflow/state_Produit/Solution. Cause: Invalid database names: workflow/Simplifié_workflow/state_Produit/Solution_acl, workflow/Simplifié_workflow/state_Produit/Solution.

My Use Case : I have a long development workflow (Kanban like) with about 12 steps. I wanted to display a simplified state in the board I show to internal customers.

Similar issue when I try to create a relation to another database here

Invalid schema: Unexpected field names: {"field":"user/state_Produit/Solution","holder-type":"Colisweb/Projet"}. Cause: Unexpected field names: {"field":"user/state_Produit/Solution","holder-type":"Colisweb/Projet"}.

This is not supported, it is not possible to create a single-select inside a single-select. Why not add a Text field and put some value in it?

5

The workaround I tried : using a text field in the state entity
It does not work because I cannot use a text field as a board column

(I forgot to post this a few hours ago)

Even if this is not supported, I suggest to remove the option from the list of new fields, or at least to have a more user-friendly error message.

Agreed about the possible ux improvements.
But what are you trying to ultimately achieve?

Basically I want to regroup 12 statuses in 4 for a different group of users
