We have several projects/tasks in awork and the statuses in the projects/tasks are all called differently. For example, Project A is called Done and Project B is called Erledigt(Other Word for Done in German) and Project C is called Fertig(Other Word for Done in German) etc. We now have a fixed project template where we have assigned statuses and would like the same statuses to be maintained everywhere on the current projects. So that the status Id on the respective staties are also the same across the project. We need this for an API customisation.

Hi @tim.guersch. Task and project statuses are always unique to the project, so the id will always be different for each project. They have a `type` property though which could help you solve this. [Returns all project statuses. — awork API | Documentation](https://developers.awork.com/apiv1/project-statuses/returns-all-project-statuses)
If you have multiple statuses of the same type, e.g. `type: done`, you would have to use the order or name to uniquely identify the status.
