{
    case Published           = 1;
    case Archived              = 2;
}

Add the following in line 275 of /administrator/components/com_content/forms/article.xml

        <field name="teststatus" type="enum" enum="Joomla\Component\Content\Administrator\Enum\StateType"
               prefix="COM_CONTENT_ARTICLES_STATE_OPTION" label="COM_CONTENT_ARTICLES_STATE_OPTION_STATE_TYPE_LABEL"
               default="0">
