Lifecycle Backward Update Route Hold

Flag an earlier-stage import proposal before it is mistaken for a supported direct update. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Record IDs, current/requested stage order, import or workflow route and field-history capture.

How it works

1. Compare stages using the supplied configured order.
2. Record the documented forward-only default tool behavior and required clearing before earlier-stage tool updates.
3. Treat clearing as an unapproved separate mutation with history consequences.
4. Return a route review and permission hold, not an import or property change.

The output

record | current_stage | requested_stage | order | route | prerequisite | hold

Worked fictional example

Fictional Customer to Lead via import is backwards in the default order. A direct import is not treated as a completed downgrade; clear-then-update remains a reviewed proposal, not permission to erase data.

Checks and limits

Keep source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use qualified review for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No live account compatibility test, send, share, schedule, ledger change or payment is authorized.
