Hi @Natalie Keane ,

If this is related to JPD, it's important to note all JPD projects are team-managed, meaning their statuses, workflows, schemes, etc. are managed within each project. 

A new status can be added within each project's Settings >> Workflow tab. Also important to note editing a project's Workflow is a creator permission.

@Natalie Keane For Jira Product Discovery you can find documentation here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-product-discovery/docs/manage-your-discovery-project-workflows/
For Jira Software Cloud: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/add-edit-and-delete-an-issue-workflow-scheme/ 
It's similar and quite easy.
