Try replacing the ':' with a '_' character, like this:

workflow.parameters["bpm_status"] = "custom_status";

Thanks,

Thanks you Brian!!
i have tried your suggestions, it is not working

i am able to change the status by extending the RhinoScriptProcessor.java (execute() Method).

but i am still looking for the solution from the js script itself so i need not to extend the default alfresco class.

bpm:status is a constrained value :



<constraint name="bpm:allowedStatus" type="LIST">
            <parameter name="allowedValues">
                <!–  TODO: Determine if status values can be mapped to human-readable strings –>
                <list>
                    <value>Not Yet Started</value>
                    <value>In Progress</value>
                    <value>On Hold</value>
                    <value>Cancelled</value>
                    <value>Completed</value>
                </list>
            </parameter>
        </constraint>


<property name="bpm:status">
                    <type>d:text</type>
                    <mandatory>true</mandatory>
                    <default>Not Yet Started</default>
                    <constraints>
                        <constraint ref="bpm:allowedStatus" />
                    </constraints>
                </property>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I think that your "custom_status" is not among the allowed values, and that is why it's not modified.

Then, either you set the status to an allowed value, either you create your own custom:customStatus property (in your own model)
