Hi Chris, "Missing" is used to designate an item that can not be found and where a patron is not responsible. "Lost" is used for an item that can not be found and is still technically circulating to a patron. Certain statuses are greyed out in the Item Attribute Editor because it only makes sense for them to be set as part of a different workflow.
