Sorry, I was going to reply to your original message on thursday but
completely forgot about it.

If the status list doesn't show up in that drop down list, then you probably
didn't associate the existing statuses to the project that you are using.
That is, statuses in Eventum are completely dynamic - you can create as many
as you want, and then associate any of those statuses to projects. When you
are using a project that doesn't have any status associations, then none are
shown.

So to fix this, click 'Administration' -> 'Manage Projects' -> edit the
project you want -> select all of the appropriate statuses and click
'update'. That should fix this.
