when creating  inbound shipment how can i set it that the status is in transit

really my question is why do the docs seem to indicate  that the status can  only be set on a created inbound shipment
```inboundShipmentUpdate.setValue({
    fieldId: 'shipmentstatus',
    value: 'inTransit'
});```

Go into Edit mode, then paste this into your browser console and run it, then click "Save":

require(["N/currentRecord"], function(currentRecord){
    var curRec = currentRecord.get();
    curRec.setValue({fieldId: 'shipmentstatus', value: 'inTransit'});
});
