Life Cycle Status Description
The Life Cycle Status Description is a plain text version of the Life Cycle Status Code, useful for adding to descriptions. While the Status Code and Status Description are related, they are not linked and must be edited separately.
If the two fields don't match after an edit or an import, PDM will generate a Check EXPI Values for Consistency warning tag. The warning can be resolved by editing the Life Cycle Status Code and Life Cycle Status Description so that they correspond.
