How to see "Columns and Statuses" link in team-managed project settings?

[Eddie Wang]

I'm trying to manage columns and statuses in a team-managed project that I am an administrator for, but I don't see a "Columns and Statuses" link when I go to the board's project settings. I think the following documentation is saying that such a link should exist. https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/manage-columns-with-multiple-statuses-in-a-team-managed-project/

Hi @Eddie Wang and welcome to the Community!

You are sure you are in a software project and have the necessary permissions? I tried to simulate what you describe, but both in an old and a new software project, I get this view after navigating to project settings:

Thanks @Walter Buggenhout , it looks like my problem is that my board is considered a "business project". I didn't realize there were different types. Is it possible to have unassigned statuses and custom filters in a business project?
