Multiple 'done' columns on board?

J B_aty2np

Hello, on our board we have only one 'Done' column at the moment, but we like to add another. For us there is a clear distinction between 'done' and 'released'. I've tried adding a new column to the board called RELEASED, and added a status, but now the DONE column is shown blue, what indicate its not done? Both columns should be considered done for reporting e.g. 

Is this not possible? Why it is possible to have multiple 'blue'/In Progress statuses but only one Done?

The board only treats the LAST column as done. That's the whole thing here. When you added RELEASED to the right of DONE, DONE stopped being the final column, so the board no longer counts it as complete, which is why it went blue. A board has exactly one completion point, the rightmost column, which is why you can stack several In Progress columns but only one counts as done.

If you want both Done and Released to count as done on the board, put both statuses in the same last column. One column, both statuses. A column holds as many statuses as you want, so the done-vs-released distinction still lives on the cards (it's the status that differs), and the board counts both as complete because they share the final column.

If you genuinely need them as two separate columns and still showing as done in JQL, filters and dashboards, set both statuses to the Done status category (the green one), and statusCategory = Done will catch both regardless of column. The board's own grey-out and the sprint report still key on that last column, not the category. So which reporting matters most is what decides it.
