Hi @SMehmeti,

Artists are only able to change the `Status` field of a task if they, or their group, are in the `Assigned To` field of that task. Once you assign the tasks, the user should be able to edit them accordingly. Looking at your first image, it appears as though the `Assigned to` field is empty, so I’m guessing that is where you are running into trouble.

Cheers,  
Beth
