I don't want task status to change in task report even after submitting the task

Hi,

I have a task report UI where I'm displaying tasks specific to user. When I open a task and make some changes, the changes are directly saved to the database from the interface itself. Now, after making some changes if I hit the "Close" button which is a submit button the task instance gets completed and a new task instance is assigned to the user. Due to this, the status of the task displays as "Assigned" and this misleads the user into thinking that no work has been done for that particular task. Is there any way I can submit the task page and the new task instance to display the "Accepted" status?
