  That's because those buttons are `ActionButtons` and they have actually nothing to do with statuses in general since the status is not a single field value nor is there a value in the DB that's called status. For example: the status of an entry depends on several different attributes like `expiryDate` or the date when it's published so there is no way to set those statuses via button there.
  
  You'll need to register the action buttons for your element type. Just take a look at an entries `defineActions` function.
