Active fields are extracted, formatted, validated, and appear on the Validation activity form when there is a problem with that field. Deactivated fields are not even extracted, so they never appear on the Validation activity form.

In some cases, it is necessary to activate a field in order to use it for a project. In others, it is necessary to deactivate a field so that it is not processed. This ensures that you maximize system performance for projects where some fields are not needed.
