```record.submitFields({
					'type': 'calendarevent',
					'id': taskid,
					'values':{
						'custevent_kesfs_eventtask_status': servicetaskstatus
					},
					'options':{
						'ignoreMandatoryFields': true
					}
				});```

generally you can try seeing if you can set that value in the ui

though its somewhat complicated by you using submitFields

<@U5TF1GQ20> its a custom field sourcing a custom list I created.

<@UEP3KSATT> Calendar Events are very weird/not standard records... the statuses are not as regular records with IDs... they are just the text:
```DEFAULT_RESPONSE    : 'ACCEPTED',
CANCELED_STATUS     : 'CANCELED',```
However, I was unable to change the status in any way...

<@U7A0KGURX> I was able to changed that satndard event status field but the custom one I created is the one giving me that error

your error is saying that the value (2) you are setting in custevent_kesfs_eventtask_status is invalid

go to the ui and set your custevent_kesfs_eventtask_status with the option with internal id 2 to verify

generally the same restrictions in the ui exist in script

Okay I tried and it returned undefined in the UI

Tried 2 and 3 and nothing. Didn't change the field and just returned undefined

as in set the field as if you didn't know script

find your field in the ui and select the option with internal id 2

just to be clear, you only changed your one field

and the new option that is set is the one with internal id 2

if that works, try using the normal workflow of record.load, setValue, and save to save the field value

<@U5TF1GQ20> that worked. Not sure why record.submitFields won't do it

without knowing how your field is setup, i would guess sourcing

<@U5TF1GQ20> thanks for your help and figured out the issue. I had the field ALLOW DELETE OF LIST/RECORD VALUES? set to "Prevent and Return Error". Once I changed that, the submitFields worked. Thanks for the help!
