Endy,

What is the architecture?   Does this describe your app?



Assuming that Related Object Status =1  is Declined
Change your button to a GenAddForm and pass into it the value
"&_fid_X=1"   where X is the Field ID of the Related Status.

On the form for the Object Status Change put the Related Object Status in a hidden section and require the field Reason in order to Save the form.

Your User will be in "Edit Mode" on the form from the beginning of their user experience.

Make sure you redirect back to the parent record with a 
"&z=" & Rurl() at the end of your URL string.
