status
A colored workflow state. Each option is an object with a value and a color, ideal for Kanban columns and pipeline stages.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
options |
Array of { value, color } objects defining the colored states. |
default |
Default status value (a string matching one of the option values). |
- id: 4
name: status
type: status
options:
- { value: todo, color: '#94A3B8' }
- { value: in_progress, color: '#3B82F6' }
- { value: done, color: '#10B981' }
default: todo
Single-select vs status. Use single-select for plain enumerated values (string options). Use status when each state needs a color for visual workflow displays such as Kanban boards.
