Does Deactivating Custom Statuses Delete Them Permanently?
Will deactivating custom ticket statuses delete them permanently?
No, deactivating custom ticket statuses in Zendesk is a temporary action and will not delete them permanently. This step is often necessary to resolve issues with the Proactive Tickets app, which requires the standard Status ticket field ID. Once you've collected the ID and resolved the issue, you can reactivate your custom statuses without losing any data.
