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>

To manually set an entry’s status upon submitting the Channel Form, you can use a Hidden field:

<input type="hidden" name="status" value="Shipped" />
