Freeze Problem Summary and location of newly located Status Field

Question

Atlassian moved the Status update field today and now you have to scroll all the way back to the top in order to then click and change status. Mmmm!!!

It would be more than useful to Freeze these top lines in this layout so you can see the title of the issue and have Status field right there where you need it. In the previous layout at least this was at the top of the RH pane.

Hi @mike_cooper , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your post.

For the moment, Atlassian are saying they will not roll back this change - https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-articles/Easier-status-updates-for-work-items/ba-p/3068881

There is a suggestion you can vote on to be allowed to move the Status to where you want it - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-27789

or some people have started posting their workarounds in the comments of the original article.

Best wishes
