It would be incredibly helpful to allow admins to customize the default task statuses beyond the current fixed options: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, and On Hold.

Many teams use more nuanced workflows that require additional stages (e.g., In Review, Approved, Blocked, Needs Revisions, Ready for Publishing, etc.). Without the ability to tailor default statuses:

• Teams are limited in how accurately they can reflect their actual processes.

• Reporting and dashboards become less precise because tasks often end up forced into statuses that don’t match reality.

• Teams have to rely on workarounds (like creating separate fields to mimic status) which adds complexity and inconsistencies across departments.

Giving admins the ability to create, rename, or disable statuses would provide much more flexibility, improve reporting accuracy, and better support diverse workflow needs across the organization.
