How to get Knockout to bind select box value to list item property

How do I get Knockout to bind the value of a select box to a property of a list item?

I have a strongly typed ASP.NET MVC view of IEnermerable from MyViewModel and MyViewModel is defined as

public class MyViewModel{
    public int Id {get;set;}
    public string Name {get;set;}
    public int Status{get;set;}
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

I am using, trying to use, a knockout for data binds the MyViewModel collection so that the user can change the status using the dropdown. My js view looks like this:

$(document).ready(function () {
    ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());
});

var statusItems = [
        { id: 0, name: 'New' },
        { id: 1, name: 'Improved' },
        { id: 2, name: 'Bad' }
];

function ViewModel() {
    var self = this;

    self.Items = ko.observableArray(@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model)));

    self.statuses = statusItems;

    self.remove = function () {
        if (confirm('Are you sure you want to remove the entry?\nThis operation cannot be undone.')) {
            self.Items.remove(this);
        }
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

And my markup

<div id="dashboard-div">
    @using (Ajax.BeginForm("Save", "Dashboard", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "Post" }, new { id = "dashboardForm" }))
    {
    <table>
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Status</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody data-bind="foreach: Items">
            <tr>
                <td><span data-bind="text: Name" /><input type="hidden" data-bind="value: Id, attr: { name: '['+$index()+'].Id'}" /></td>
                <td>
                    <select id="status-dropdown" data-bind="options: $parent.statuses, optionsText: 'name', optionsValue: 'id', value: Status" />
                </td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
    </div>
    <button data-bind="enable: Items().length > 0" type="submit">Save</button>
    }
</div>

      

        
        
        
      

    

The problem I am facing is the dropdown value not tied to Status. when loading the start page, the dropdown value is set correctly. those. if it's 1 in the database, "Improved" will be selected, but when I get to the "Save" method in my controller, the status for each item (MyViewModel) is 0. If I change the "Status" property to enter a string, it's all over again will work until you go to a controller where all state values ​​are zero.
