Example XML parameter definition

<field
        name="mystatus" 
        type="status"
        label="Choose" 
        description=""
/>

Available options

Based on the source code this returns the following entries in a list:

Filter options

If this field is used in the element context and not as a filter, the All option is not required, for example. In such a case, the optionsFilter attribute can be used to select which options should be selectable.

<field
        name="mystatus" 
        type="status"
        label="Choose" 
        description=""
        optionsFilter="0,1"
/>

The field now only loads the options JPUBLISHED and JUNPUBLISHED.
