In Adobe Workfront, when a status is created and designated as a "group status," its availability is restricted. For this custom status to appear on tasks within a specific project, the project itself must be formally associated with that same group. This association is configured in the "Project Details" section. The presence of team members from the group on the project team is not sufficient to make the group status available; the project-to-group link is the determining factor. This explains why the status is missing in some projects even if they have members from the relevant group.

A. The presence of team members not associated with the Marketing group does not prevent a Marketing group status from being available. Availability is determined by the project's association with the group, not the composition of the project team.

B. Adobe Workfront does not have a general project-level setting to simply "toggle on" the use of all custom statuses. The availability of specific statuses is managed through system-wide and group-level configurations.

1. Adobe Workfront Documentation - Create and customize system-wide statuses: "When you create a status and associate it with a group, only users in that group can use it. For users to be able to use a group status on an object, the object must also be associated with the same group." This is further detailed in the section "Create or edit a status," which explains the process of associating a status with a group.

2. Adobe Workfront Documentation - Associate objects with a group: "You can associate certain objects with a group that you manage to make group-specific items available to them. For example, if you want to use a custom form or a status that is specific to your group on a project, you must associate the project with your group."
