Hello and Happy New Year!

Can a tab similar to ‘Is on Loan’ be added in the Preparation form, but for deaccessions? So that I can view preparations that are decommissioned and no longer exist.

Thank you!

Anna

Anna, I don’t believe this is possible in 6 or 7 currently, but I have also wanted this!  
It would be really nice to have an automated checkbox field configurable for each interaction type, not just loans.

Hi @Anna and @nfshoobs,

Thank you for sharing your request here! I’ve added this request to a GitHub discussion for the team to evaluate:

I agree that it would be useful to see _all_ associated interactions easily rather than requiring additional queries to see this information.
