How to Add a New Project Status

📂 Category: Projects

In Buscoou PRO, you can customize project statuses to fit your workflow. By default, the system includes five statuses:

✅ Not Started
✅ In Progress
✅ On Hold
✅ Cancelled
✅ Finished

However, you can add new project statuses using a simple action hook.

📌 Important Notes:

• "Not Started" and "Finished" should not be modified, as they are core statuses.
• Each new status must have a unique ID to avoid conflicts with future updates.
  
  

  Step 1: Understanding the Code

  ✔️ id – Unique status ID (pick a number higher than existing ones).
  ✔️ color – HEX color code for the new status.
  ✔️ name – Display name for the status (e.g., "Planning").
  ✔️ order – Position in the status list.
  ✔️ filter_default – If false, the status will be hidden by default in project lists.

  Step 2: Save & Apply Changes

  3️⃣ Navigate to the Projects module and verify the new status appears in the list.
