To Do's are used for tracking work for UX, Architecture, etc and we need more Status options to provide more clarity on where the work is at.
More Status options will provide all team members assigned (and "Watchers") more insight to where the work is at.
Add 3 more Status options:
On Hold
Ready
Will Not Implement
Thanks for sharing this idea. We are unlikely to add more status options to to-dos because we want to keep the experience simple. If you need to track more detail, you can add custom fields to to-dos to capture that information.
