Okay, I think I understand.
So, how about if you remove the Status choice from the edit screen?
And then instead, provide a “Change Status” button on your view details screen.
This button would do a Link to Screen → This Item action.
On the next screen you add your status choice and a Submit button.
The Submit button would do a Set Columns action to change the status on the current row.
Note: You’ll probably need a User Specific Column to use as the target for your Status choice component. Then the Set Columns action will take the value of that column and use it to update the Status column.
