Description
If PEnum_ElementStatus is set to OTHER, there is nowhere for the user to fill out the "userdefined" status. Perhaps this is OK and the intention is to use IfcTasks for more complex staging / statusing / phasing, but it would be good to be explicit about this in the docs.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the documentation for PEnum_ElementStatus, especially the OTHER value and its userdefined status, then check how IfcTasks are described for complex staging, statusing, or phasing. Done means the documentation explicitly explains whether OTHER has a user-entered value and when IfcTasks should be used.
