When I put a task into certain states it would be nice to stop the clock

Would it make sense to make

a list of state names rather than (or in addition to) a bool?
That way I could make it DONE, WAIT so when I cycle the state to WAIT (eg
for
an email confirming something works) the clock is stopped automatically?
Or is there another mechanism for this? Or is the mantra more to keep
stop/start manual until the obvious state for DONE?
Not for a list of states but it can be done for at least one state.
See variable org-clock-out-switch-to-state.
HTH
Thats a different issue. That determines which state the task is
automatically switched to when you actually remember to clock out.
You are right. I misunderstood. Sorry.
I'm not sure I would find that useful since there are multiple states I
might be in with and without the clock running and I wouldnt want stopping the
clock to reset the state.
How about this?

Not sure if this is exactly what you need but guess it's a starting point..
