How to add Meta Attributes to a Jira Workflow Status?

[Piyal Nanayakkara]

Hi

In our Jira System, we are using customized Workflow and  we had several Status values (lets say "PC0","PC1", ..."PC7")  for the Status Field which was named as 'PCF Status"  and we wanted to change the Status Field name to " FCP Status" and the related Status values to "PC-01", "PC-02", ...."PC-07".

So we have changed the Status Field Name and the labels but when I add a User Story, the FCP Status's  value is set to None.

when I add a User Story here is the extra details I captured by changing the script code for behaviors as shown below

As you can see -It says ".... this Step has meta attributes : [jira.status.id:1, pcf-status:PC0]"
so seems like FPC Status related meta attribute (fpc-status) is missing and it still has previous PCF Status meta attribute.

So, I am guessing that we need to add meta attribute for fpc-status and would like to know the steps in adding it.

OR

do you know where we keep meta attributes for Workflows?

Note:

I found below article which mentions about meta attributes for Jira Worflow Statuses:

JIRA's XML workflow definitions contain references to JIRA meta attributes. For example, the id of the linked JIRA status of each workflow step is stored as a "jira.status.id" meta attribute in the step's definition. Therefore, when manually creating workflows in XML
please ensure that all referenced external entities exist before import the workflow into JIRA.

Highly appreciate your support on this.
