About Creating a Custom Problem Status

You can create a custom status for a problem, and determine the order of transition for the custom state.

Problem Status Transitions

By default, a problem is constrained by the different states in its lifecycle. For example, when a problem is in the logged state, the next state is investigation. From investigation, it can be set to identified. (See Problem State Transitions Reference for a list of the problem states.)
