How to add a new item to the status field in Bugzilla?

To add a new item to the status field, namely 'Reopen'. In the admin section of zilla its clearly there. Now when we 
go to edit a bug we can never see this new field, all we can initially see is Assigned, New, Resolved. After changing the bug status to Resolved we can then see some other statuses like Reopened, verified 
and closed but not 'Reopen'.


To solve this i have followed the steps which is mentioned below:


1. From Administration>Field Values>Status, make sure that the new status
you created is open for bug entry. 


2. Once this is done, on Administration>Bug Status Workflow, make sure the
status transitions are set.
