Thanks Luke. Something must have been awry as I'd tried that but it's now working.

<p>It's easy enough update the order status from the frontend using:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;input type="hidden" name="action" value="commerce/orders/updateStatus"&gt;
&lt;input type="hidden" name="orderId" value="{{ order.id }}"&gt;
&lt;input type="hidden" name="orderStatusId" value="{{ order.orderStatus.id }}"&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>But I'm wanting to add a message to go with the status. Any pointers? It looks like the message is part of the Order History model, not the Order Status model.</p>

Updating an order from the front end would not be possible unless the user has update/manage order permissions.

As for the message it is simply a `message` post param that you send along with the status ID.
