Trypsin is a protease produced in an inactive form in some cells of the pancreas. Suggest the advantage of producing it in an inactive form?

Trypsin is a protease that acts in the small intestine to digest proteins. The advantage of it being produced inactive form in the pancreas is so that it doesn't digest pancreatic proteins. This means it doesn’t cause damage to pancreatic cells/tissue and function.
