change device and vm status

[ebagrmd]

Hello everyone
We use Netbox in a professional environment via the pynetbox API in order to instantiate part of our equipment automatically from our database.
Until now, the machines taken out of our database were placed in 'inventory' in netbox:

def inventory(list_db:list, list_netbox:list):
    """ Changes the status of netbox devices to 'Inventory' when they are no longer in active status in the database
        args: 
	database dictionary list
        List of netbox machine names

        return : func_log
    """
    list_name_db = [dico['machine_name'] for dico in list_db]
    for machine in list_netbox:
        update_data = ""
        try:
            if machine.name not in list_name_db:
                machine.status = 'inventory'
                machine.save()
        except pynetbox.RequestError as e:
                update_data = e.error
        log = func_log(machine,update_data)
    return log

For some time the logs have returned the following message:
{"status":["inventory is not a valid choice."]}

python 3.11.5.64bits
pynetbox 7.2.0
netbox 3.6.1
os windows

Thanks for your help
