If the SOAR New status is removed and replaced by In Progress, what status is shown for containers that had the new status before the replacement?

Question

Options

• AIn Progress
• BNew
• CIn Progress
• DNew

• A
  78% (38)
• B
  14% (7)
• C
  6% (3)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because SOAR platforms perform an automatic status migration when an existing status is removed and replaced - all containers previously tagged as "New" are seamlessly updated to the replacement status, "In Progress." This is by design: removing a status without migrating existing records would create orphaned or invalid data, so the platform reassigns them to the new status automatically.

Options B and D (both "New") are wrong for the same reason: "New" no longer exists as a valid status after the replacement operation, so no container can continue displaying it. The platform does not preserve the old label once it has been removed.

Options A and C appear identical in the answer choices, which is likely a formatting error in the question - treat them as the same answer; both correctly state "In Progress."

Memory tip: Think of it like a database UPDATE query - replacing a status is not just a label change, it's a migration. Old records get the new value, not a null or the old one.
