Remove "continue" button and automatically change the status when requiring fields by status

What is the challenge?

• When changing the status of an idea , if there are any required fields that have to be completed, It auto saves the required fields - However the "Status" doesnt change unless the "continue" button is clicked (see attached)

What is the impact?

• PMs completing the required fields but then not hitting continue, leaving the idea in the old status and not closing the loop with the user.

Describe your idea.

• Remove the "continue" button and replace with auto like the required fields etc...
