The following improvements were made regarding custom statuses:

• Create unique statuses and apply them to a specific group.
  Prior to this change, statuses could only be created and applied globally.
• The system administrator can now create a status and lock it, which makes the custom statuses global.
• The system administrator can create a custom status and leave it unlocked. This allows a status to be shared with a specific group. The group owner can then customize the status to fit their own group needs.
• Group Owners can now create unique custom statuses for the groups they own.
  Prior to this change, only a system administrator could create and share custom statuses.
• UI improvements when creating custom statuses.
  There have been some updates to the interface when creating a new status or editing existing statuses. This is to make the interface consistent with the look and feel of other areas of Workfront.
