How can I remove Type from MASS UPDATE?

Hi all,
how can I remove type field from MASS UPDATE in Account module?

Thanks,
Rafael Menezes.

Edit modules/Accounts/vardefs.php and insert 'massupdate' => false in the account_type array.

    'account_type' => 
  array (
    'name' => 'account_type',
    'vname' => 'LBL_TYPE',
    'type' => 'enum',
    'options' => 'account_type_dom',
    'len'=>25,
    'comment' => 'The account is of this type',
    'massupdate' => false,
  ),

Has this changed in version 5? I can't find the account_type field in Accounts\vardefs.php
Edit: I've just done a search of the whole SugarCRM folder and sub-folders and I can't find any files containing the text 'account_type'. Am I missing a file? Has it changed name?
Has anyone here modified the vardefs entry for this field recently (i.e. version 5)?

Hi all

Instead of editing the modules/Accounts/vardefs.php create an extended vardefs for Accounts (custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php)
Redefine only the massupdate attribute for the account_type
After that you need to Rebuild Extension.

Cheers

Thanks for your continuing help, you really are a sugar hero
