Changing the status_id using the API

[hixair]

Hi !
So we are checking out our assets using the API to a user when this user enrolls the device with our MDM.
It is working great except the status_id is wrong.
I do an API call to hardware/:id/checkout?checkout_to_type=user&assigned_user=userid, and I cannot figure out how to checkout the asset and select a particular status label id (Deployed, 2, would be fine) at the same time.
I tried to do it afterwards but when I do a PUT or PATCH on /hardware/:id, with the proper status_id in the payload I am not able to change the status label (I can change other details though).
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
