Multiple statuses

Question

Hi guys,

I am currently trying to adapt our dashboards. At the moment we have multiple statuses but for the same thing (one example image below).

Is there an easy way to amalgamate them into one?

Any suggestions would be great :)

Hi @Laura Potter

Yes, and...to what Jack says...There are multiple open defects/suggestions for this issue. You may watch or vote for them:

https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?jql=project%20IN%20(JRACLOUD%2C%20JSWCLOUD%2C%20%20JIRAAUTOSERVER%20)%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20summary%20~%20%22status%22%20AND%20(summary%20~%20%22next-gen%22%20OR%20summary%20~%20%22team-managed%22)%20AND%20summary%20~%20%22gadget%22%20ORDER%20BY%20Key%20DESC

The only alternatives I have seen are marketplace add-ons that can roll-up the status values or using a custom field and automation rules to "standardize" the status names for reporting.

Best regards,

Bill

This may be because you’re using team manage projects and repeating the same status on those projects. Unfortunately each one represents a different project and they cannot be presented as a single status.
