Is it possible to display the Task Status field in its own task form?

I edited a "Start a task process" process with Nintex Forms, dragged the "Task Status" control on the form and changed its Control Mode to "Display", so that users can't mess with it.

However it always displays "Not Started", even after the task has been completed and the task status column in the "Workflow Status" says "Completed".

 

All I want to do is to display the status so that when a task is assigned to a group and one of the users complete the task, others can see that is't already been completed.

At the moment the only indication is that the "Edit Item" is disabled.

 

By the way, this works fine when using the default SharePoint task form before it's edited with Nintex Forms (you need to click "Show More" and Description, Priority, Task Status, etc. are displayed).

Hi Dario,

What about using a Calculated Value control.

In the Formula, add the item property: Task Status.

Hi Christophe,

Thanks. Unfortunately the formula for a Calculated Value accepts Item Properties (the item against which the workflow runs) but not items from the Task itself.


Dario,

Just display the item displayed in the Standard Sharepoint form as you explained this is working.

Hi Christophe,

The client required some form customization which we achieved via Nintex Forms, so that is not an option.
