Duplicate status

Gui Ávila

Hi!

I noticed that I have similar status, and even duplicates.

When we create a new project from a template, Jira automatically creates new workflows and new status, am I right? What if I already have the status "Canceled", because its used in a different project, does Jira creates a second "Canceled" status?

My status list is very big. To keep things organized, shouldn't I edit the workflow and change the similar status using the old ones that already existed?

If new status items are created for each new project, it will turn to a mess... Keeps difficult to create filters, boards, etc.

Thanks!

Dear Gui,

are you aware of the feature “Shared Configuration”? When you create a project you can define that it shares its configuration with another project.

That way the workflows, screens, permissions, notifications etc and their corresponding schemes are reused and not created again and again. This prevents a lot of redundancy and keeps your system clean.

It might sound as if you loose flexibility with this approach but this is not the case because you are still able to define specific e.g. workflows and link them to just one special project.

Please consider to consolidate your projects to a shared configuration. This will ease your Jira administration a lot.

Kind regards,

Tobias
