Answer 1

You try delete : ,"icon":"Active"

import shotgun_api3

shot = sg.create("Status",{"code":"Done1","name":"new1"})

print shot

Answer 2

proj_id = 1234 status_name = "New1"

status_entity = { "project": {"type": "Project", "id": proj_id}, "code": status_name }

_shot = sg.create("Status", status_entity)
