How do I require all cycle counts to be blind counts?

Overview

By default, whoever creates a cycle count chooses whether it is a blind count. In a blind count, counters don't see system quantities or variances while they count. An admin can now make blind counting mandatory for every new count.

Turn it on

Go to Settings > Inventory.
In the cycle count section, switch on Require blind count for all cycle counts.
Save your settings.

The setting is off by default.

What changes

On Inventory > Cycle Counts > New Cycle Count, the Blind count toggle is on and locked. A note says it is Required by your admin (Settings > Inventory).
Counts created through the External API or PickFlow are also saved as blind. If a request asks for a non-blind count, it is overridden instead of rejected, so existing integrations keep working.
Counts that already exist are not changed. Only new counts are forced blind.

Good to know

To go back to per-count choice, switch the setting off. New counts can then be blind or not, as chosen at creation.
The setting hides quantities in the counting screens. It does not restrict API access: the API can still return system quantity on blind counts. If counters have API access, keep that in mind.
