Setting default status when moving tickets to another project

[Paty Souza]

When moving tickets to a particular team's project, I noticed the default status value is In Progress instead of To Do. I reordered the statuses and that did not difference.

Then I noticed when I manually transition a ticket to another status, I see a "Transition To" then Status. I've never seen that before.

Does anyone know how do I set the To Do as first in the list when moving tickets and perhaps tell me why I am seeing this weird wording when manually transitioning statuses? Thanks

Hi Paty - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You should set the opsbar sequence in the transition property. See this previous post for guidance.

Hi @Paty Souza,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The order is based on the internal numbering of the statuses, so you cannot change that order.
