Adding new Status to the JIRA workflow (not already existing one)

Philipp Tandler

Hello, 

hope you're doing well. 

We're currently trying to add 2 additional Status in our JIRA Workflow and already checked the documentation (Our JIRA Version: v8.13.9). 

1. The first steps say:

   1. Click Administration in the top navigation bar.
   2. Click Issues > Statuses.

   However, this documentation seems to be out of date.

   1) I don't see an Issues tab.

   2)  I can find the Workflow page, where I can edit the entire Workflow. It's also possible to add already existing Status. BUT we want to add a new status (which isnt existing) instead of searching existing one.  
   
   

   Can anyone please help? 

   Thanks much!

Hello @Philipp Tandler ,

 

Can you please let me know. if you getting the below links, when you click on "Settings" (Cog)

 

2-- if you are a jira project administrator & you may able to perform the following operation --> For this you may need this project permission "Extended project administration".

 

• The workflow must not be shared with any other projects, or be a system workflow.
• To add a status, the status must already exist in the Jira instance i.e. the project admin can't create new statuses or edit existing statuses.
• To delete a status, the status must not be used by any of the project's issues.
• The project admin can create, update or delete transitions, but they can't select or update a screen used by the transition, or edit or view a transition's properties, conditions, validators or post-functions.

Thanks,
