Given a document item (either a folder or any other file type) that has a status defined with the status metadata, if a project administrator disables the usage of the status metadata and then any other metadata for this item is updated, then the status is reset to none, which is wrong.
The status value must not be cleared when status metadata is no more used. (this worked like this in the legacy docman).
This issue is also here fort the obsolescence date metadata.
