Project Administror to a scrum board. I can add a column but not a status

Question

On my project board, I am able to add a new colum with the heading  Test, but when I do this, the following comes up

This column will not show on board without Status

I do not have any option to add status and therefore the Test Column is not being added

Can you please assist

Good question! I dont know that there is a place in Jira where it says this. Its usually whoever makes the global changes to your Jira instance. Someone with higher access than you may have.

So when you say Jira Administrator, how would I find out who that is

Hello Shirley,

This most likely means you have a shared workflow with other projects therefore your Jira admin will have to make the change and the status.
