I need to add a column to my simplified board, how do I assign a status?

Luke Reed

I have added a column and placed it in the workflow where I want. However, I have a message that says it will not appear until I have added a status. The Help page says a status will automatically be created. That is not happening.

I have separately created a status, but am unable to apply that to my new column.

It sounds a bit weird, to be sincere.

Are you not able to see the new status on the "Unmapped Statuses" area?

Luke Reed

No, I cannot see the new status. I am trying to create an Ice Box column. When I am in Column Management, I see my new column: Ice Box.

Ice Box has a message that says "This column will not show on the board without a status"

There is an "Unmapped" column, but that column is empty.

My columns are:

Ice Box

To Do

In Progress

Done

Unmapped

What is the name of the status that you created that should appear in the Ice Box Column? Does that Status exist in the workflow for the project the board is related to? Do you have a screenshot of your Column Management screen?

Luke Reed

I names the status "Ice Box" to correspond to the column. Screenshot attached.

Thanks for the screenshot. The status "Ice Box" is that a current status in the workflow for the projects that show up in this Board?

To be honest, I have no idea. i thought it would be simple to create a new column so we can organize tickets that we will need to come back to later. I have spent about 3 hours now trying to figure it out.
