Hi everyone, I am new to jira please help me with this issue. After creating a project and an issue, while viewing the issue it is showing in progress(2), to do (2). What does those numbers (2) imply and how to remove it?
The number for status and transition is an identifier. The reason is that there may be several transitions, for example, that have the same name but are used in different workflows.
When you see a selection list with multiple transitions with the same name it helps you to choose the correct one by id.
You cannot remove and should not remove them. They are there for a good reason.
It's unique for that particular workflow step. So for example, your "Bug Workflow" can have 2 transitions named "In Progress (1)" and "In Progress (2)". If you made changes to "In Progress (1)" like added validators, postfunctions, it will only affect that transition. So, if you re-use transitions with the same ID, your changes to that transition will apply to all. The same scenario has their merits.
You cannot remove it.
is there any way to hide it?
is there anyway to hide it, so that it does not show up in issue section workflow
No way to hide it. It's their for a very good reason as pointed out.
No. But only administrators see them, and we find them useful.
ok i completely agree with you, but what i am trying to say is that this id must be a system generated id and as you said i cannot and shouldnt be removed. But what in issue panel, in workflow section it is showing in progress (2)? What does (2) imply and how to remove it?
