Options in this action
Status text
Either enter a new status value (Add new status) or select a status value previously used in the current workflow. The specified status value is applied to the workflow instance when the action executes.
You can specify a custom value, such as "Workflow Started," or a standard workflow status value from SharePoint, such as "In Progress," "Canceled," "Completed," or "Errored." For example, you might add two instances of this action to a workflow: one at the beginning, with the status value "Workflow Started," and another at the end, with the status value "Completed."
