Adding Custom Page Status Not Working

The CMS Questions

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to add a custom page status “archived” to a page in addition to the default statuses (draft, unlisted, listed).
As shown in the docs/reference

I’ve tried several approaches but can’t get it to work:

What I’ve tried:

Added the status to the blueprint

status:
  draft:
    label: draft
    text: unlisted.text
  unlisted:
    label: unlisted
    text: unlisted.text
  listed:
    label: listed
    text: listed.text
  archived:
    label: archived
    text: archived.text

What am I missing to make the custom “archived” status appear as an option in the panel?
Is there something else I need to configure?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
greetings Tobias

Hey Tobias,

I’m not sure where you found the option to add a custom status, but we only support to customize the labels and description for the three existing ones. You can also remove a status from the dialog. Adding a new status is not possible. The status is bound to the state of the page.

Page in _drafts folder = Draft
Page with sorting number = Listed
Page without sorting number = Unlisted

I hope this helps.

Hi bastianallgeier,

Thank you for your quick and clear response!

I understand that adding custom statuses is currently not possible. I think this would be a really helpful feature to have in the future, as it would allow for more flexibility in organizing and managing pages based on their specific states.

Thanks again for clarifying this!
