Create a resource with a default status ?

[EliXorZz]

Hello, I have created my own resource definition and I would like to be able to assign it a default status when creating this resource.
I found this in the examples here

However, the status field is absolutely not taken into account during creation, is this normal?
I may have forgotten a parameter that I do not know?

Thanks in advance for those who will help me!

Yeah, this is normal. Applies (via patch, create or replace) only affect the main part of the resource (i.e. the spec part). The same is true for kubectl apply.

Status objects are designed to only be set by controllers and need special methods to be set (patch_status, create_status, replace_status). I have never seen a resource with a default status (unless you count null/None).

Yes, that's what I thought, but you should update your example, right? Because it is false.

Ah, yes you are right, thank you!. Fixed in #963
