Thank you for making the Status assigning screen usable again - however...

Thank you for the colour-coded markers that show where Statuses are Assigned, Unassigned or Inherited. That's great.

However there is one thing you've missed that makes half of this useless - there is STILL no option to Assign a single extra Status to a container without all the Inherited oned becoming disinherited and Unassigned. Why?!?!

I hate having to make a note of all possible Statuses that have been used in a container in Notepad, Assign my extra one and then re-Assign all the ones previously in use that were Inherited before but now unceremoniously become Unassigned.

When Assigning Statuses in a container where some of the USED Statuses were until that point Inherited, couldn't you please pop up a message that says "Assigning manually in this context will turn off inheriting for the container. Do you wish to Assign all currently used Statuses? Yes/No". Wouldn't be too hard, I wouldn't have thought.

Or even, a "Re-inherit" button appearing at the top if manual assignations are made at a level where any of them were previously Inherited (and keeping any manual assignations).
