    xmlns:ui="clr-namespace:UiPath.Core.Activities.ProcessTracking;assembly=UiPath.System.Activities"

```

## Notes

- **Set Task Status** is typically placed inside a **Process Tracking Scope** to set the outcome of the task being tracked.
- `TaskGuid` is selected from tasks defined by enclosing **Process Tracking Scope** activities using an auto-complete expression widget. It does not accept a free-form GUID string in normal usage.
- `Status` accepts values from the `TaskStatus` enum provided by the UiPath.System.Activities package. Common values include `Completed`, `Failed`, and `Unfinished`.
- Setting the task status does not automatically close the enclosing trace. To close the trace, use **Set Trace Status**.
