Activate or Deactivate a field Option - Common Procedure
You can activate or deactivate user-created options in fields. When a field option is deactivated, it no longer appears as selectable in the field to the user.
If you deactivate a parent field option that is linked to a child field option, the child field option is also deactivated. For example, the relationship demonstrated between an expense group and an expense type.
If a field option is in use by a record and a user marks the option as inactive, the system does not notify the user that the option is in use.

The Lucernex team is still exploring how deactivating a job function will impact functionality. At this point in time, if a job function field item is marked as inactive, a user with that job function can still be added to new entities. They will also still have access to entities that they were a member of before. This issue is also complicated by the fact that users with inactive job functions cannot be viewed in the Members / Contacts page of an entity.
