1 month ago It should be possible to write to the XR's .status field, as Nic mentions in this comment: https://github.com/crossplane/crossplane/issues/4968#issuecomment-1793582438
It's not possible to modify the XR's .spec and .metadata (as captured in https://github.com/crossplane/crossplane/issues/5434), but .status should be supported.
Do you have the status field(s) that you are writing to defined in the XRD also? That's one common issue that prevents data from being written/saved to .status.

1 month ago I have the status field in the crd. I do have lack of knowledge in this GoTemplate function, can we maybe add an example for it that updates status.
Maybe like the custom bucket composite example.
Anyway will ask for specific syntax help on the slack

https://github.com/crossplane-contrib/function-go-templating/blob/main/example/functions/toYaml/composition.yaml#L22 this example demonstrates how to write to the status.
To be honest it wasn't very clear to me as well, but the examples folder helps a lot. (Even if the naming of the directories is not very clear :-) )
We have a composition which uses go-template functions and terraform provider to get the existing aws vpc information. This composition also has to report the status back to claim.
