Status is not really a field, it's a view of where an issue is in the process (workflow).

You can't "set" a status at any time other than creating a new issue.  You have to move issues through the workflow, so that they take new status from your process.

There's a few examples of scripts that can do this at https://library.adaptavist.com/search?term=transition
