How to add new option to the status field "select" type

When I try to add new option “New” to the status field I get following error.

What is the right way to achieve this?
Will I be required to create a custom application for this?

Hello,
What you suggest will works but if Frappe team do not allow this change, it’s for a good reason. Some times in erpenxt code, functional rules are hard coded with predefined options.

Another solution if to set a default value, hide the field and create a new custom field with desired options, and check the code to match your workflow regarding you new status to the standard fields

Adding new options shouldn’t be dangerous. Deleting or name changes … it would be specially.
