# Status Menu

Allows the entry’s status to be set:

    {status_menu}
      <p>Status<br>
        <select name="status">
          {select_options}
        </select>
      </p>
    {/status_menu}

Or use the alternative syntax:

    <label for="status">Status</label>
    <select name="status" id="status">
      {statuses}
        <option value="{status}"{selected}>{status}</option>
      {/statuses}
    </select>
