I don't think you can update the phone call when the status of the phone call is closed.
I would suggest use workflow on status change. Check if your custom field is empty,change the status back to open, update the field and change the status again.
I hope it helps

Use this JavaScript and register it OnSave method:
crmForm.all.new_yourfield.DataValue = crmForm.all.statuscode.SelectedText;

Thanks.
Just a quick question - How can we get current status code for an entity using Javascript?

Did you tried to add statuscode to the form and then run this code ?

But it doesn't show the new changed status. It always shows OPEN while I close it with COMPLETED.

Quick question for you: Why you want to add custom field with Status when you can publish status field on Form ?

It is the statecode that you after, not the status code. You'll need to use the workflow example to do this or create a plug-in that fires before the record statecode is changed to Closed, Completed,etc.
