Recurring tasks: retain a default status

I love the recurring tasks feature, but I'm a little bit frustrated because of the behavior of the status property. I use the status field to emulate a GTD-like workflow (for lack of a custom property I can edit). In my case the status is an indicator of the context in which I can perform the task. For example: Morning Routine, On The Road, At Work, At Home, At My Home Desk, ... This is very helpful in sorting the tasks throughout my day, on a Kanban board in my Daily Note. Love it!

But here's the issue: whenever I check off a task, the next occurrence does not retain the status, but defaults to "open". Which in a way makes sense, but the context for this next occurrence is most likely the same as for the previous occurrence. So I have to manually add the new status every time.

This could be solved by having the option to retain the last status before completion as a custom setting for tasks. Or another way: allow task objects to receive custom properties (and thus allowing me to create a specific property for the GTD context).

Anyone else having this "issue"? Or any suggestions for a different solution.

Thanks!
