So i have changed the pyDefault of Data-Retention-Policy class and like now the archival i have set to cases which are either “Resolved-” or “Open-” category now the thing is this pyDefault will be applied in all Case-type’s where archival is enabled , but i want this functionality or pyDefault for a particular case type not all , for other case types it should follow the normal archival of “Resolved-” cases only.

Can someone guide me how to achieve this?

It should be applied wherever you deleted this instance under _Data-Retention-Policy_.

1. App Explorer - enter _Data-Retention-Policy_ Class

2. Double-click the _Data-Retention-Policy_ class to open a list of records for the class.

3. Double-click the record for the Case Type.

4. Click the **Delete** button.

But that would disable the case archival for any other case type right, what i want is like i want archive all resolved cases of let’s say Case A and no other status other than resolved and for Case B i want all resolved and Open- cases to be archived .
