I can't recreate In progress status as it says it is duplicated

[Nóra Tölgyesi]

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I have accidentally changed the global "In progress" status to a specific status called e.g. Data cleaning. I realised it quite soon what happened and it affected all the boards (nearly 100 board) that originally had a status in their board as "In progress" so we knew that we need to change it back to "In progress". But when we tried to do that it said "In progress" status already exists but it did not because I changed it. So what we did temporarily is that we change it to "In-progress" instead of "In progress". Which is good enough and does not make a big difference but is there a way to change it back to "In progress" as it should be?

Thanks in advance,
Nora

Hi @Nóra Tölgyesi 

I tried this in a test instance:

• I changed the status to "Not In Progress"
• Then, I changed it straight back to "In Progress"

^ This worked fine for me.

There's definitely not another status that has been created called In Progress somewhere in the list? Perhaps use Ctrl/Cmnd+F to check?

Hi @Ste Wright  thanks for the comment. You were right, I have found the original or re-created In progress at the bottom of the list. Do you know if there is any knowledge base around statuses as I found it difficult to understand how this is working.
Many thanks,

Nora
