HOW TO Add a column and requires a status to be visible?

[james gaulden]

Since the Jira update, as a board admin, I have not been able to complete easy task I used to perform. We do have a company managed project.

Today's event was adding a column. I went through the normal process, but notice nothing populated and a status was required. However, I was not able to perform.

So I reach out to our BA, who has admin rights, sent this to me. I have not seen this before and neither has he.

So for him to give me board rights to add the column and status of column. Should he just click next and simplify?

We want to make sure we're not going to break the board.

Advice is welcomed.

No. It is not supported anymore. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/end-of-support-announcements-802592169.html#Endofsupportannouncements-201408WAR

No.

The WAR distribution had been "discouraged" for quite some time.  There are plenty of good reasons why we don't want to support it, with the most obvious being that our distributions can ensure that you run with a supported JVM, Tomcat, and database driver, which is something we can't easily ensure with the WAR distribution.  But the final decision was driven by the fact that we were packaging JIRA into 3 distinct offerings: JIRA Core, JIRA Software, and JIRA Service Desk.

It was no longer clear what the WAR distribution would even be in this new world, so it was dropped as part of the 7.0 release.
