Why isn't a chosen value of a combobox not the actual cell value?

As explained in this other question, I'm creating an Excel file for doing follow-up on my tasks. For that, I have created some lists of values, to be used in comboboxes, which seems to be working fine.

Next point: I have created conditional formatting in order to clearly see which tasks I still need to do, which have problems, ..., but this seems not to be working.
Hereby the conditional formatting definitions:

Hereby a screenshot of "ComboBox Sources" corresponding values:

Hereby an example of such a combobox, which is not coloured as expected (and the possible explanation):

Screenshot of failing conditional formatting

  • In red, you see that the cells are not coloured as expected.
  • In yellow, you see as possible explanation: choosing a value in the combobox apparently did not set the cell value.
  1. Am I correct that, configuring the combobox into modifying the cell value, might solve my problem? In case yes, how do I do this?
  2. In case not, what can I do in order to execute the desired behaviour of the conditional formatting?
