Add status button not visible

[Christopher Sheridan]

I am an org and project admin.  I have the default, basic Kanban board and I'm trying to add a column and status.  I understand there should be a "Add status" button but there is none.

Can you please shed some light so I can set this up for my team?

Hi @Christopher Sheridan 

Are you trying to configure this? Thats under configure board -> columns.

If not, can you send us as screenshot of what you see on the screen and where it seems missing?

Thanks Aaron.  Screenshot...

Thanks for the screenshot. On the left you see you don't have more statuses.

You need to go to issue type-> workflow -> on the top you can add more statuses.

Then they will be available to put them in the board.

I tried earlier and saw the workflow, but it wasn’t clear where to create a new status.

Hi Christopher - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What type of project is it? Team-managed? Company-managed?

Also, is it a Software project or Business project?

Boards behave different based on the type.

Thanks John.  Team-managed, software project.

So, what happens if you click on the + to the upper right? That should add a column and therefore a status.
