Bug Description

When trying to SAVE after creating entry for custom schema I get error: Validation error: Invalid status

This is not useful. I am unable to debug.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Spin up any local posgres db

2. Create strapi locally (use same env vars for above db)
   pnpx create-strapi-app@latest my_strapi_backend --skip-cloud

• ? Do you want to use the default database (sqlite) ? (Y/n) n
• ? Choose your default database client: postgres
• ? Database name: (strapi)
• ? Host: (127.0.0.1)
• ? Port: (5432)
• ? Username: strapi
• ? Password: ******
• ? Enable SSL connection: (y/N) n
• ? Start with an example structure & data? (y/N) y
• ? Start with Typescript? (Y/n) y
• ? Install dependencies with pnpm? (Y/n) y
• ? Initialize a git repository? (Y/n) y
• ? Participate in anonymous A/B testing (to improve Strapi)? (y/N) n

2. Load strapi (install dependencies and start)

• cd my_strapi_backend
• pnpm i
• pnpm dev

3. open in browser
   localhost:1337

4. create local account

5. stop strapi

6. create this schema.json
   src/api/example-x/content-types/example-x/schema.json

{
  "kind": "collectionType",
  "collectionName": "example-xs",
  "info": {
    "singularName": "example-x",
    "pluralName": "example-xs",
    "displayName": "Example X",
    "description": "The main project schema."
  },
  "options": {
    "draftAndPublish": true
  },
  "pluginOptions": {},
  "attributes": {
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "unique": true,
      "required": true
    },
    "status": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": false,
      "unique": false,
      "default": ""
    },
    "sections": {
      "type": "component",
      "repeatable": true,
      "component": "common.section"
    }
  }
}

7. create nested schema dependencies

• src/components/common/detail.json

{
  "collectionName": "components_common_details",
  "info": {
    "displayName": "Detail",
    "description": "A deeply nested piece of information."
  },
  "options": {},
  "attributes": {
    "title": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true
    },
    "description": {
      "type": "text"
    }
  }
}

• src/components/common/section.json

{
  "collectionName": "components_common_sections",
  "info": {
    "displayName": "Section",
    "description": "A section within the project."
  },
  "options": {},
  "attributes": {
    "heading": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "content": {
      "type": "text"
    },
    "details": {
      "type": "component",
      "repeatable": true,
      "component": "common.detail"
    }
  }
}

8. restart strapi
   pnpm dev
9. Go to - content manager > Example X > Create entry >

• add a title: example
• click Save

response

{
    "data": null,
    "error": {
        "status": 400,
        "name": "ValidationError",
        "message": "Validation error: Invalid status",
        "details": {}
    }
}

unuseful error message.

The status should allow any string.
How to debug?

Expected Behavior

Either, it allows me to save, or I see a useful validation error message.
