Status - not always showing on corkboard (and not at all when printing corkboard)

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS

Hello,
I am using the status option to mark chapters as First Draft, To Write (etc). I selected Show Status Stamps. However:

  • not all Status names are displayed. There seems to be no logic to which status is shown, and which is not.
  • When printing the corkboard, the Status Stamp is not showed at all…

Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

Make sure that the Status in question is indeed applied to the specific document. For instance, the documents in a folder do not inherit the folder’s Status.

No, I’m afraid it isn’t possible to print the Status stamp.

Yes. I checked. I marked a document (a folder) with the Status “First draft” - and that showed in corkboard view. Then I changed the status on the same folder to “Eerste versie” (Dutch for First Version) and… the Status stamp disappeared. Back to “First Draft” and there the stamp is again …

It appears some of the Status “fields” were causing the problem. Deleted these, recreated with same text and now it seems to work.
Unfortunate that Status is not on the printed index cards (and there appears no way to change the lay-out of these, correct?)
