Jira REST request 'rest/api/2/status' returns duplicates with the same names and different IDs.

Jira REST request
https://<domain>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/status
returns duplicates with the same names and different IDs, e.g.:

{
"self": "https://<domain>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/status/10401",
"description": "This was auto-generated by Jira Service Management during workflow import",
"iconUrl": "https://<domain>.atlassian.net/images/icons/statuses/generic.png",
"name": "Declined",
"untranslatedName": "Declined",
"id": "10401",
"statusCategory": {
"self": "https://<domain>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/statuscategory/3",
"id": 3,
"key": "done",
"colorName": "green",
"name": "Done"
}
},

{
"self": "https://<domain>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/status/10384",
"description": "This was auto-generated by Jira Service Management during workflow import",
"iconUrl": "https://<domain>.atlassian.net/images/icons/statuses/generic.png",
"name": "Declined",
"untranslatedName": "Declined",
"id": "10384",
"statusCategory": {
"self": "https://<domain>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/statuscategory/3",
"id": 3,
"key": "done",
"colorName": "green",
"name": "Done"
}
},

although in the browser I can see only one 'Declined' with ID:10401.

The question: If it is OK when how can I filter REST response?

Hi @Grygorii_sh  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There can be different status values with the same name and different ID values; this impact has increased with the addition of team-managed projects, where every project has its own copies of the status values.

One approach would be to use a different REST API method to get the status values by project to narrow the scope:

Hi @Bill Sheboy 

But in the browser in the 'Advanced Issue Search' along with Filter 'All Projects' I can see only one 'Declined' with ID:10401.

Is it configured in Jira which exactly statuses can be displayed? Or is this the default behavior and field 'Declined' contains both IDs 10384 and 10401?

Short answer: I do not know and I suspect "no".  JQL is not a SQL.

My understanding is that when you search status by name, it matches anything that matches...which is why filters, boards, and dashboard gadgets can have problems when team-managed projects are used within an instance...when the filter is not specific enough.

If your filter narrows the scope (such as project=myProject AND...) that will limit which status values are returned.  You can also solve this by explicitly searching by the status ID: status = 10401
