Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to add a status option to their frontend form so that the post can be saved as a draft or publish based on the user's choice.

Solution:
This is possible but you will need to do it using a select field. Create a generic select field like the one below on your form and set the statuses you want the user to choose from.

   [cred_generic_field type='select' field='order_stat' class='order-stat']
{
"required":0,
"default":["draft"],
"options":[{"value":"draft","label":"draft"},{"value":"publish","label":"publish"}]
}
[/cred_generic_field]

The user will then select the status they want to submit the post as.

From there we can use a Cred hook to hook into the save post and then set the status there.

add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'my_success_action',10,2);
  
function my_success_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==346)
    {
        if (isset($_POST['order_stat']))
        {
            // add it to saved post meta
 $my_post = array(
      'ID'           => $post_id,
      'post_status'   => $_POST['order_stat'],
  );
          wp_update_post($my_post);
        }
    }
}

Now you will replace the my_custom_field with the slug of the generic field that you made. Note it would be best if this was a select field where the value and the display name is also the same.
