New Order Status set to processing instead of pending, does not reflect to order grid.

[Priti_Rathee]

Hi, I have set New order status to processing from Store>configurations>payment method>cod>New order status>Processing.

And then i placed new order using COD payment method.

Now the order status should be "Processing" in sales>order grid.But it is still showing pending.

Can anybody help me.

NOTE:- There was only pending status was available at Store>configurations>payment method>cod>New order status-

for getting Processing status in the New order status drop down I assigned status to order state from Store>order status.

Please somebody help me how can I set New order status to Processing.

There is an Magento Ticket regarding this issue: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/5860

According to the comments, it should be fixed in Magento 2.3 and it was backported to 2.1 as well. I can confirm that it's not working in Magento 2.2.6
