How to change default status for new created bugs?

Question

I have already configured project with several issue types with the same workflow (Epic, Task, New Feature, Bug).

All new created issues have default status 'Backlog'. But now I need to change default status if users create 'Bug' — it should have default status 'To Review'.

How I can do this?

Maybe create an automation, which will change to status of create issue of bug type to the one you want it to have?

Hi @Mikhail Sysoev

please feel free to check out Solved: Can you change the default status on new issues to... (atlassian.com)

This points to Configure the initial status | Atlassian Support what seems to be slighly outdated, but you should be able to map this to current version and your needs.
