I was able to get my custom post statuses to work and thus all the dependant functionality fairly easily. I then did something. Now none of them are showing up and for the life of me I cannot find the issue in the CPT declaration.

Is there anything wrong with the following (it’s part of a merged array of CPTs as per example in docs):

,'company_community' => array(
      'labels' => piklist('post_type_labels', 'Community Award Entry')
      ,'supports' => array(
        'revisions',
      )
      ,'public' => true
      ,'has_archive' => true
      ,'rewrite' => array(
        'slug' => 'communityaward'
      )
     ,'edit_columns' => array(
        'title' => __('Community Award Entry')
        ,'author' => __('Entered by')
        ,'status' => __('Entry Status')
      )
      ,'post_states' => true
      ,'status' => array(
        'draft' => array(
          'label' => 'Completed'
          ,'public' => true
        )
        ,'locked' => array(
          'label' => 'Locked'
          ,'public' => true
        )
        ,'scored' => array(
          'label' => 'Scored'
          ,'public' => true
        )
        ,'audited' => array(
          'label' => 'Audited'
          ,'public' => true
        )
      )
        ,'hide_post_row_actions' => array(
        'quick-edit'
        ,'view'
        ,'open-in-visual-editor'
      )
    )           

1. The posts are created and everything there works (although occasionally I have a doubling of field boxes)
2. I’ve tried disabling all but piklist and my own but no luck in isolating further

add_filter('piklist_post_types', 'awards_post_types');
function awards_post_types($post_types)
{
  $post_types = array_merge($post_types, array(
    'company_skills' => array(

Just a note – for some reason I didn’t get an email notification of your second reply? Got the first one but not the second one. Either way thanks again.
