Have status on your Asana Task

Let me see if I understand:
1 - Today, Asana tasks have two status: Incomplete, Completed
2 - A tasks is Completed after we click the top left checkbox. Otherwise, it’s Incomplete

  • Up until here it’s what I figured out via the Aha integration

3 - If I want an additional status (e.g.: In Progress), that’s not possible.
4 - In order to emulate an additional status, I need to create a custom field.

NOW comes my question: If I do add a custom field, then the Complete checkbox at the top left corner becomes a duplicate, and in order to consider a task Complete I need two updated (custom field + Complete checkbox)? Is this accurate or am I missing something?

Thank you
