How to limit Status Dropdown Options in Jira Classic Cloud

Larkin Rogers

I have created a new classic project in Jira Cloud and need to know how to limit the status (or columns) available to just those in the board. these are the dropdowns that allow me to move the jira to another column. Say from "to do" to "in progress" Currently, all statuses from all 5 boards are listed in alphabetical order, kind of a mess. Thanks in advance for the help

You will need to amend your workflow.

The workflow for the issues define what status are available. Your boards are a view of a set of issues, and they have no option but to show your workflow, otherwise they would be useless.

If you want to stop status X being available to push the issue into, you need to remove the transition into that status from the current status from the workflow (or make it invisible by adding conditions that prevent it appearing)

Thanks Nic, does this apply in simplified workflow or do I need to make an un-simplified workflow? I am a new Jira user and I do want to keep this simple if possible. If so, so you know of a good resource to learn the process? thanks

To add more info, here is my dropdown:

and here is the whole workflow:

These are all the status' in my project from all 5 boards. I want to limit the dropdown options to just the columns available on the board. Thanks

To limit the status available to the ones you are using in a board, you will have to remove all the ones you do not want from the workflow. i.e. make the board cover all of your workflow.

You can do that with simplified workflows, yes.
