I want to rename the status value 'Potential' to 'Pending'
In Type & Attribute Management, the status of a WorkItem looks like a modeled attribute, and immutable. Is there a way to change these values?

Internally, I would not change it but looks like its controlled by the following resource bundle. You can override, edit and rebuild this to do "text tailoring" to change what is displayed to the user:

Windchill/src/wt/workflow/work/WfAssignmentStateRB.rbInfo

 

# Entry Contents

ACCEPTED.value=Accepted
ACCEPTED.shortDescription=accepted state
ACCEPTED.order=20

COMPLETED.value=Completed
COMPLETED.shortDescription=completed state
COMPLETED.order=30

POTENTIAL.value=Potential
POTENTIAL.shortDescription=awaiting acceptance state
POTENTIAL.order=10
POTENTIAL.defaultValue=true

You should be able to change .value to display something else. Follow standard steps for rebuilding resource bundles.
