Create Service as Admin: Default Status Pending Instead of Active

[Jonathan]

It would be great if the default status when creating a service as an admin was "pending" instead of "active".  By having it as active it adds a huge likelihood that human error will cause a service to be activated upon submission of this page without having received payment.

Further, if it's "pending" and the person intended it to be active, they can still go activate it manually.  If it's "active" and "pending" was intended...well there's no undoing that easily in most cases

Hi Paul

So is there any way to change it back to defaulting to Active?

 

Thanks

It would require a code change as there's no setting to control which is default. Defaulting to pending is the safest option, if you add a service as an admin, and forget to change it to active before you create it, you can go to the pending service and activate it then.

We managed to fix it with a little js-foo in our module.
