Hi @shreelaxmi,

I think you should check and read the carefully below post.

You can’t set ‘Options’ for field Status

Oh there are plenty of reasons to not allow changing status enums. ERPNext is a collection of business logic, some of that business logic depends on which status a document is in right now, if it’s in unknown status then it won’t do anything or worse do some default action. This is allowed but there be dragons. The safest option is adding a separate custom field for tracking your custom status.

Thank You!

Another option you can try is setting up a workflow. in this way you get custom field with your state, you can set your own state flow and even can choose to override the standard flow of the doctype

another technical solution is to use property setter.
