How to set back to previous status of workflow to task?

[Prabakaran D]

I have created task with open status and when i started working by mistake have moved the status to 'Dev Completed'.

How to set back to status to "Dev-Inprogress" for the task? can anyone answer?

@Prabakaran D  it depends on your workflow. If you want  this to be achieved your workflow  should have a transition option the initial status  or to the desire status , in your case i is to  the dev- in progress. 

If your workflow does not provide you the chance then one option is to make changes in the workflow by adding "all all status to transition to this issue" to your open status or a single transition to dev- in progress from completed status.  But to achieve this you need have certain administrator privileges. 

Hope this helps you
