How to add a column with custom category and status

inspiraconnect

We'd like to add to our Kanban board a column like the 'Selected for Development' one, with our custom category (VALIDATE) and status (In Testing).

We've created the VALIDATE category like this: cog-->projects--> project categories -->add new project category--> save  : the category was added to the View Project Categories table.

When trying to add new column or add new status in 'board settings' or Issues --> 'issue statuses' we still only see In Progress/ To Do/ Done categories

Cheers,

The status category is a fixed list, you can't add any more to it.   So you will find that you cannot do this.  You can add whatever columns you want to your board, but not into different categories.  This category is actually a flag on the status.  The three default columns are just to get you started!

You have added a project category, which is used for grouping projects togther into logical batches (like a product, or a type of customer, etc)
