Status button of the Jira ticket has changed its position

[Alexander Martinkevich]

I've become wasting my time after Atlassian "enhancement" applied on my project account. I need to scroll lot of times per day just for the reason to check the Jira status, loosing my focus and being distracted from work item topic. Revert it back please or make it configurable

[Becca Fourie]

Please revert to the original position, as scrolling hides the status and is very frustrating. We should be able to choose where this field is located! It seems many of us dislike this!

[Peter Tung]

Please revert it back to the original position, our users are so used to the previous design.

[Adam Kysel]

So when I want to change Assigne and status, now I must move scroll page and move mouse? You kidding.. 

[Jason Adkison]

LIke, make it opt-in at least.

[sebasb]

Omg what is wrong with you guys, rollback this please, useless change

[Bence Madarász]

I just had enough and spent some time creating a small userscript.

I share it here, in case it helps someone else: https://gist.github.com/msbence/3c87476c0ce3f1a0942d4c061e289a31 

Ugly, and comes with no warranty, but hey, it works! :)

[Hubert Schewe]

My suggestion would be to make it configurable - like many other field-positions. Otherwise, there will be always complaints.

[Courtenay Pisani]

WHYY!!!???

[lila]

Pls reverse the changes Atlassian ... 

[Artur Balyan @ Immedis]

I don't remember seeing this anywhere in the updates for the design! Is there a place to vote to return it or at least edit the location? The new place is not a great choice!

[Liz Towle]

Please put the status button back to the right column.

[Micheal Holman]

File this one under 'wtaf?!?'

It has changed its position again... 

• Previous position: Above the Details tab on the right side of the screen.

• Current position: Below the Jira title on the left side of the screen.

[Dayna Portillo]

The same has happened in my Jira instance, however it seems to only be in my business projects, not software projects.

Hi Atlassian Team,

Thank you for continuously “optimizing” the user experience. The recent relocation of the Status button has certainly made an impact — just unfortunately not in the productive direction many of us were hoping for.

Previously, the button sat neatly at the top right, right above the Details tab — perfectly visible, easy to access, and aligned with how we actually work. Now, having it placed under the Jira title on the left means we get the added daily exercise of scrolling through long comment threads just to update a ticket status. While I'm sure this was not intended as a productivity challenge, the end result is that statuses are more frequently forgotten or missed, and tickets get overlooked. Naturally, that does wonders for both workflow efficiency and team morale.

If this change was meant to improve usability, the outcome suggests otherwise. When a UI adjustment increases friction instead of reducing it, perhaps it's worth reconsidering — especially when a large number of users are experiencing the same disruption.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could revert the Status button to its original top-right position, or at least provide an option to do so. A change that truly improves efficiency will always gain support — but this one has only added unnecessary burden to daily operations.

Looking forward to seeing this “enhancement” enhanced again.

Just got the change. It is a horrible placement, before i did not have to scroll to change or see that status of a ticket. Now i have to do both. And it was a WTF moment as i could not find it. I tis hidden under the title.

If you are going to destroy your UI at least let people move things around so we can use the UI with good UX.

[Troy Anderson]

"more visible" = off screen.  Is that some kind of down-under logic?

[Luka Balac]

Never in my life have I created an account somewhere in order to post a comment regarding UX problem or a bug, until now! 

The position of the button is highly disruptive on so many levels i won't even get into it. Please revert!

[Robert Eiser]

Vote on https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-96247 to request Atlassian to provide the option for admins or users to revert to the former location for the status picklist. 

[Ladislav Varga]

Same here, it took 30sec to find that button.

[Cara Donson]

Atlassian, this needs to be put back. It's not consistent between project types, so this is now in a different place for service and software. It needs to be back where it was so that it is immediately accessible when working on a ticket no matter how far down the page you are.

The people have spoken ... we dont want to scroll up and down all day. Jira should be about efficiency ... this goes against your core purpose. Common product manger, do your job, listen to feedback. 

[Tom Morrissey]

I will add another voice to this.  After trying to adapt, it is very annoying to constantly scroll back up to the top of a task.  We pin the field in the right-side section for a reason 😊
