Splunk Search

Why isn't my replace command working in this search?

index=test TransactionId="xxx-xxx-xxx"|  replace "000" with "" in Status| fields Status

I want to replace the first occurrence of "000" in status to blank.This is the command I wrote after referring to Splunk Documentation. However, the results don't show me the modified value of Status. Is there something missing in the command?

My end result should be the value of Status with "000" replaced.

Thanks for your help
