When should i not use a Static Entity?
Question
Architecture
Database

I have this really long list of status. Does it still make sense using a static entity or just use a normal entity with excel bootstrap? Not using a static entity also makes it harder to check for conditions when status = open (for example)

Hi Tony,

Static Entities with so many records is useless, and not good practice! The main use for Static Entities are 1) as a  developer, being able to use a (hopefully) meaningful identifier instead of some magic hardcoded value, and 2) as a user, being able to select a value from a combo box. In both cases the number of records should be limited for any practical use. So in your case I think you should not use Static Entity 

Thanks
