I didn’t know about Notion’s categories. That is a really neat option to group status to convey a simple overall condition but also capture nuance (when something is in progress in can mean a bunch of different things).
I think there had been previous discussion on this and and the predefined categories (as Notion seems to have opted for) was seen as unworkable for fibery’s diverse uses. However, I think the categories option can still be useful.
This is a minor UI issue, but I gave up using status extensions (replaced them with single select fields) because I couldn’t get past the fact that the autogenerated progress circle didn’t reflect the actual progress. For example, if you had “Intake” as initial/zero state, “On Hold” would show some marginal progress. Also there was no way to distinguish between “Cancelled” and “Completed” if both had a “final” state.
