Add status to Kanban board in a project with custom workflow

Question

Hi all,

I have a project where I implemented a custom workflow and set the workflow as active scheme to the project.

Now I want to configure my Kansan board to reflect the workflow.

With the Jira-simplified-Workflow I can add status and columns.

But now with my custom workflow I can't add status to the Kanban board, only new columns.

I am admin of the board but do not see the button "Add status" in the "configure Board" page.

Am I missing the button somehow or is it not possible at all to configure a Kanban board if the project work flow ist not the "simplified scheme"?

Thanks, regards
Philip

Also do what @John Funk  suggested below and make sure the workflow has been published and there is no draft button. If you are unsure feel free to take a screenshot fo that too for us to see.

@philip_mayer the instructions should work for any kind of workflow, columns get set the same regardless. Can you take a screenshot of what you see when you click on Board-> Configure->Columns. I think that could help troubleshoot.

Best,
Clark

Hi Philip,

Let me make sure I understand. You modified the workflow that a particular project uses.

But when you go the board you have been using, the new statuses that you added in the workflow are not there.

Is that correct?

It sounds like you might not have published the workflow after the changes. Can you verify that?
