It's used more than just a user utilizing the quick action change status. There are places in Maximo where it gets the default internal value for a status such as when you put a WO In Progress by starting a timer. Since this change status has to happen silently without a prompt, it retrieves what the default is for that status change instead of making the user select.
I wouldn't be concerned making the change unless you don't want to impact other silent operations like that. If you just want to support a quick action change status to a different status and are on 7.6.1.X you can utilize an action automation script to launch the change status dialog and select the status.

Subject: Synonym domain defaults
MAM 7.6.1.2:
I'm considering creating a couple of WO status synonyms:
| Internal Value | Synonym Value |
| COMP | WCLOSE |
| CLOSE | INVALID |
When I look at the existing WOSTATUS domain, I'm reminded that domains have a "Default?" field:
It's my understanding that Maximo does the following:
For a given internal value, the default synonym is used when manually changing the status of a WO.
Does Maximo use the synonym, defaults for anything else?
