What is "Change Status to" used for in a block?

[BlueMoon]

I noticed there is an option for "Change Status to" in every block available. You can check the box and you can also enter some value in another box provided.

What is the use of this? Can you provide example? Also where can I read all about it?

Thanks in Advance.

This is one stupid option that once I decided to remove, but someone wrote to me "Nooo, don't remove it, I use this" When you enable this in a block, when the block passes (to the orange output), this will change: http://prntscr.com/e68z31

Oh I had been wondering about that, too. That could actually be pretty useful!

Sorry but I still don't understand. I looked at the link you sent me but I don't follow.
So if I enable the box and it passes...then it changes to what? Can you please give an example of how it is useful?

Thanks in advance.

In the picture you can see blue text "stopped". Which is automatically generated after the end of the EA's work. But if you use "Change Status to" this text can be changed to whatever text you want.

The idea is that you can choose some blocks to tell you something in the chart. The alternative is of course to use "Draw Text"

Just in case you are minded to remove this feature, I for one also find it extremely useful. It is a great way for the EA to tell you where it is up to without having to create additional blocks.

It needs to have a help message attached to it.

The more things you have undocumented the more exasperating the system can become at times.

Perhaps someone that uses it could provide a mini-tutorial. That would be very helpful.

Well, when you run the EA it literally says "Status" down there:
Maybe the font is too small
