Issue Status globally changed

Question

Hello Guys,

I encounter an issue and I need your expertise to iron it out.

I created a new project and built a new workflow for it.

Backlog - To Do - Build - Test - Done

I got a call this morning from PM of other projects that the status Build replaced all statuses "In Progress" across all projects. It is a problem

What should be done to change the Build Status back to In progress?

Thanks a million for your help

Ok you made an easy mistake. It happens to everybody.

When you work on a workflow and you want to create a new status, the best practice is to click on Add status on the left.

The mistake you made, which happened to me when I started working on Jira, is to click on an existing status and edit it with a new name. It has for effect to change the name of the previous status to the new status across ALL YOUR PROJECTS.

You can revert it by editing back the Build status to In Progress and save it. Next, you will have to remove the In progress status by selecting its shape and select remove. And you can create with Add status another status Build.

Is it clear ? Let me know if it helped you.
