Hide system fields from issue details (jira software data center)

[Jemima James]

Is there a way to prevent the system field 'status' (which shows the workflow step) from appearing on the view/edit issue screens?

I have not included this field as part of any of my screens (be it create, edit or view)

Hi @Jemima James ,

Status is a mandatory, non-removable field. It will be come automatically without adding in the screen. 

You can't remove this field from view screen.

Please refer below link for more details @

It's hard to use an issue tracker to track issues when you don't have a status to do the tracking with!
