When a work package type has been created such as a feature and is in a status specific to its own workflow, changing that type prior to the status renders the work package stuck. The new status items will not populate the drop down options under the new type. To reproduce create a feature, change the status to the default In Specification, save, change the type to Bug, save, and try to change the status.

The status items will be locked with only one option, the former option selected under the original work package type. Begin of the deletion
