How to hide or edit the reason field in Azure DevOps

This post provides two workarounds for customizing the 'Reason' field in Azure DevOps work items. The first workaround involves hiding the system 'Reason' field from the form using a REST API call to the system controls endpoint. The second workaround details how to create a custom 'Reason' field by adding a new picklist field, hiding the system 'Reason' field, and then using the Cascading Picklist extension to control the display of custom reason values based on the work item's state.
