          Description

          This task is concerned with changes to config option values where a value may change such that it no longer matches those in use by existing services. If a service is updated that used the old config option value, it will be set to another config option value because the original no longer exists.

          The proposed solution is to two-fold:

          1. When saving a config option, each (current) value must be checked to see if a service is using it. If a service does use it, we must display an error. No option value can be deleted, or changed, if it is in use by a service.
          2. Add a select option to choose the value's status (i.e. Active/Inactive). An inactive option value will not be displayed anywhere, except on the service to which it is already set. This will allow the existing option to be maintained if it is not explicitly changed by admin or client. Clients can still have the ability to upgrade to another config option value from an inactive one.

              Consider these scenarios:

              • A configurable option dropdown is used with the SolusVM module to select the OS template to install. This same dropdown controls the control panel used by a licensing plugin. Options cPanel and Plesk are present. We choose to stop offering Plesk but need to let people who already have it, keep it. Disabling the option for Plesk while allowing current customers to retain it would address this problem as new people would not be able to order it.
              • A similar situation with Litespeed Licenses. Lets cite VPS and Ultra VPS licenses which have now been replaced by things like “Web Host Lite”, “Web Host Pro” type things. Old licenses continue to work as Litespeed kept them functioning, but we want to move to the new options so we need to let current people swap to them if they want, but not force it, all while preventing new orders of the old types.
