Description
Currently setting the status is a bit complex and not intuitive. The feature can also be improved and expanded
- Too many radio options displayed at once
- Clear status after: unclear whether only the status message will be cleared or everything
- Submit button only affects part of the form
This could be improved by:
- Use a select for visibility
- Do not show default status messages by default (this can also be done with a multi-select)
- Be more verbose about what happens when users select options

Research direction
No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the current status dialog represented in the issue screenshot and review how its visibility, default messages, clearing options, and submit behavior are implemented. Done means the dialog presents the proposed options clearly and applies the complete form consistently.
