how to modify status property of a folder?

In a specific folder on my PC, I have a folder that contains a specific folder for each project that I have.

The projects are named beginning with date in ISO format.

Example: 2019-10-05.MobileViking.Invoice

I'm interesting to add a status do each project so I can quickly see if a project is OPEN, CLOSED, RUNNING or ABORTED.

So, in File Explorer, I have right clicked on header table which contains columns as Name, Created Date, Size to add a predefined column named Status.

Now, is it possible to initialize this column for a folder ?

If yes, how ?

I expect that after right clicking on folder, I have the possibilities to define in Status field that project is Closed or Open.

The Status column is part of Microsoft OneDrive integration, and is used for its purposes. it reflects the synchronization status of the file, so the options are preprogrammed.

• synched (it exists on the local system and in the cloud)
• Cloud-Only (it exists in the cloud but not the local system)
• Local-Only (it exists on the local system but has not been synched to the cloud)

You will not be able to use this column for your custom purpose.

you may be able to use the Comment column, but that means you need to update it in the files metadata. see here for more info
