Restrict editing of status labels

[Anthony Montecalvo]

Hi!

We share our Jira Cloud among many teams within our organization. Sometimes we notice the statuses within our workflows have changed. Upon some investigation, we realized that someone working on a new workflow for their project, may have added an existing status but then decided to rename causing it to be renamed everywhere else the status was being used.

Is there a way to restrict certain statuses in Jira to prevent this from happening again?

No, there's no way to do this.  You have to train people who are editing workflows on doing the admin carefully and properly.
