Thank you for the assistance - here is what I did to successfully add and use new attributes in the Status Reason field.
1. Add the new Status Reason attribute(s) in the field called "Status Reason"(1000000150) on form AST:Attribute. Make a note of each new Status Reason attribute ID. 2. Add a record to the SYS:Status Reason Menu Items form. For CI records, the Form Name is BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement. Character Field Value, select the number equivalent of the Status value then type the word for the corresponding numeric value. NOTE: remember that the first Status attribute numeric value is "0" (zero). For the "Selection Code* field, use the new Status Reason attribute ID. 3. Clear the server cache and have users clear their browser cache. 4. Set a CI with one of the new Status Reason attributes. Check that the field values are reflected on join form. BTW: I added "Lost", "Stolen", "Need to Find", "Damaged", "Surplus Pending". This allows our team to use the Status value as appropriate and select a defining Status Reason.

Add a record to the SYS:Status Reason Menu Items form 2.Add status reasons in field called "Status Reason"(1000000150) on AST:Attribute 3.Open the respective join form delete the "Status Reason" field from form(in this case "AST:BaseElement" ) (Note : We have to Convert respective form to custom from base because we are getting error "no delete flag is enabled" on regular form ) 4. Again add the that field from AST:Attribute in that join 5.then check the field values are reflected on join form or not Then When you create records status reason value will save on form . :) Regards, ITSM Support (Bhagyashri Jogdand) Vyom Labs Pvt.

Part of the architecture change for AM/CMDB is to move asset lifecycle fields to this form and out of the CMDB. We modified the field (through overlay) directly.

The directions I have found pertain to Incident, Change or Work Order. The directions have you add a attribute to the Status Reason_Hidden field on the form then add a record to the SYS:Status Reason Menu Items form. I have not found directions for adding new Status Reason for Asset UIs and could not find a corresponding Status Reason_Hidden field on the BMC Base Element form. I added a record for the new Status Reason on the SYS:Status Reason Menu Items form. The new Status Reason can be selected on any Asset UI but when the record is saved, the selected Status Reason does not save. Assistance appreciated.
