@jeremystretch I'm not a developer and can't offer a description of the required changes to the codebase or database or views/api.

Use case for this functionality is lifecycle of devices in ours (and not only in ours) company - devices starts with
planned status (They may be purchased, located at a supplier or warehouse, or even rack-mounted, but not yet in active status). It would be nice to be able to change the default status for newly created devices (now as I understand it, this is hadrcode).

I'm going to close this out as no reasonably detailed implementation has been proposed. If anyone would like to spend some time thinking through that and sharing a plan, I'll be happy to re-open the issue for further discussion.
