How to update task status using Zoho projects API

How to update task status using Zoho projects API

Hi there.

I'd like to use the API to update the status of tasks. I am aware of the POST  /restapi/portal/[PORTALID]/projects/[PROJECTID]/tasks/[TASKID]/ endpoint and the custom_status field that can be sent with the request. However I am looking to only use the default statuses, custom statuses aren't necessary. No field is documented for the request body to do this, is it possible?

Thanks in advance.
