i think this may be due to the asynchronous nature of these calls. Since they are firing at different times, it may not catch something. If you were to change this status to something that runs via formula rule or form rule, it will run prior to the action every time. You will need to modify your workflow for it to trigger in the way you want.

I came up with a workaround based on thinking about this further and Ursula's feedback. I created a checkbox field for every state. So when I go to a certain state then the corresponding checkbox is automatically checked. The subsequent action now correctly triggers based on the checkbox. (For whatever reason Quickbase can register a check box changing value from False to True but it cannot handle a text multiple choice field value changing. [also this is further proof that this is not a timing/asynchronous thing.] It is what it is. :-) )
Thank you very much Ursula, Mark, and Jordan for your feedback.
