Cannot add Status on Team-managed software

[Deleted user]

Hi there,

Somehow I cannot add any new status/column to my new JIRA Team-managed software Board. I looked everywhere, I don't have this option, I have to correct admin permissions but still I cannot see anywhere to add this new status/column

Many thanks

I found out where I could add new statuses in the meantime, by editing the Workflow and clicking the "+" in the top banner, not very intuitive...

"not very intuitive" is the official motto of the Jira UX team.

So f you click “+” what happens?

Thanks Jack. When I click on the "+", it creates a new empty column without any new status to add to it and therefore when saving it, it clears it all. I found out where I could add new statuses in the meantime, by editing the Workflow and clicking the "+" in the top banner, not very intuitive...

Ah, yes. This has changed with more recent changes associated with managing workflows in TMP. It used to be that there was a 1:1 relationship between columns and statuses however this has changed as TMP has added support for different workflows by Issuetype.
