We have recently introduced a new custom order status called "Pending".

In our custom order workflow, when an order is placed using a specific payment gateway then it first gets "Pending" status and later the status is changed to 'In Progress' or 'Cancelled' via a webhook call.

As shown in the screenshot attached, it is possible for us to filter sales orders by this custom status and we can also view this in the grid but there is no way to change the status from "Pending" to "In Progress" or "Cancelled" using the Actions available in the order detail screen.

As shown in the attachment 2 & 3, it is not possible to move a "Pending" order to any other status.

Can you please introduce necessary change so that it is possible to change the status of orders from a customer status like "Pending" to other "In Progress" etc just like it is possible when order is in "On Hold" status. Note: we can not use the "On Hold " status due to some limitation around our business logic.
