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>
