Status System Field got moved to Description from Context Section

[Anya Zhukova]

In our project the system field Status got moved to Description Section in Screens from Context Section.
We can not move it back. Is this some kind of bug? Is there a way to move it back?

Welcome @Anya Zhukova 

Atlassian announced this change for the statuses that they will be inline with the apps section, so sadly, these changes cannot be reverted and soon will be applied for everyone.

Thank you! Do you by any chance know where I can read this announcement? :)

Hello @Anya Zhukova ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community :)

As per the recent change, the Status field will now appear directly under the work item’s Summary, making it easier and faster to find and update the status of your work. We are moving the status field to a more visible spot, simplifying your workflow and making Jira feel more intuitive. 

You can find detailed information in this community article:
Easier status updates for work items 

Thank you

Hi @Anya Zhukova and anyone else who finds this post, there is a suggestion which we can vote on to be able to move the 'Status' button to where you want it to be - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-27789
