How to change the function of sprint reports?

[Slava Kitaeff]

I have a sprint board with the statuses Backlog -> Selected for Development -> in Progress -> Ready for Acceptance -> Done. Both Ready for Acceptance and Done are final statuses in the workflow. For the sprint reports Burn Down & Burn Up to account for the work correctly, I need both final statuses to be accounted for. The built-in reports only count for the last one. Is there a way to change it?

Hello @Slava Kitaeff 

Welcome to the community.

The reports will only consider the issues "done" when the Status of the issue is mapped to the board column farthest to the right. You have to have both Ready for Acceptance and Done statuses assigned to that right-most column to get the reports to work the way you want.

You cannot make the reports recognize two columns as "done".

Note that if you combine the statuses into one column, you cannot change the issue between those two statuses in the same column by dragging them on the board. You have to view the issue and change the status by clicking on the issue's Status button.
