Hi @user198

Shopify doesn’t have a built-in In Progress order status that’s why it’s not changing.

The only native order states are:

Open
Closed
Cancelled
Fulfillment statuses (unfulfilled / fulfilled / partial)

If you want In Progress you need to:
Add an Order Tag (recommended)
or
Use a Metafieldto store your custom status

Most apps use tags like In Progress and then filter orders based on that.

You can’t create a new core order status in Shopify
