I agree, this option makes no sense here.

A quick fix for your instance, if this is causing user issues would be to hide it via CSS

Add to your theme application.css:

<pre><code class="css">
/* Hide version status selection in version create dialog */
.ui-dialog .new_version p:nth-child(3) {
display: none;
}
</code></pre>

Hi Jake,

thanks for the smooth workaround. Werks very well!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made a patch that fixes/implements this without CSS.

The patch passes all the tests and adds two new assertions:
# new version form doesn't contains the status field
# edit version form contains the status field.

In my opinion it makes no sense in all pages from where you can add new versions, not only in the modal dialogue. I think there are very few cases when you want to add a locked/closed version.

I agree with you.

Thanks for the patch. It looks good to me.
Setting target version to 3.4.0.
