How to add status field on module based on some condition?

Question

I have use case where when I click on 'Activate' button ,an API is trigerred which will show an alert boc saying "Account is activated".

Now , I want to add one field like below screen which will refelct the status of accounts. <<Ignore module name and other information it's just for reference>>

Please help me with some suggestions or any code snippet.

I managed to have it locally on the Accounts module with the following steps:

1 - Create the active_c field in Studio 
 2 - Add the field to the record view. 
 3 - Edit the file custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/views/record/record.php to add the 'active' field to the panel_header. 
 
 This is the outcome:

I have attached my custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/views/record/record.php here so you can have a look.

Mind that if the field is empty it will not show, as it does not show the label if it is not in Edit mode. 
 I hope this helps
