I Need More Order Statuses

Hi. I use all the order statuses from "A" to "Z". When I press to "create new order status" button, it fails, it doesn't create any new status. How to create new order stauses? Can I provide it to produce new status with 2 letters like "AB"?

Hi

Would help you and others if you stated which version!

I use MV 4.3.5

No you can’t.

No you can't.

But I can use numbers with 1 char (from 0 to 9), couldn't I?

Theoretically you can use any single character including punctuation. But I believe the business rules limit you to 'A'-'Z'. You could also use lower case.

You might be able to use the php hook 'get_statuses_post' to provide other status data (see fn.common.php).

Why on earth do you need more than 26 order statuses?

I suppose the right decision for you would be a custom mod, or add-on which extends order status key to two letters.

Why go to 2 characters when there are 26 more alpha characters available (plus numbers and punctuation). There are so many places within the cart that expect single character and the core modifications would be extensive.

Just curious Ilya why you would suggest going to multi-character rather than extending the character range to use lower case instead?
