How to NOT have a workflow show on the Backlog

[rachael.axtman]

I would like to have a "released" status, but I want it to close out the ticket and no longer show it on the backlog. How do I do that with the next-gen settings?

Hi @rachael.axtman ,

Are you asking to make additional done statuses in Next gen? or something else? I am slightly confused by the question if you could elaborate or add some screenshots.

Though, if it is asking for additional Done statuses this isn't currently a next gen feature as it is with classic projects. Though it will be released soon!

best,

Hi Clark! Thank you for your response :) I am not trying to make any additional done status' - I just don't want the items in the done status to show on the board. This is a Next gen board.

Assuming this is a Kanban board (in next-gen) you can clear out the done column like described in this article:
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Next-gen-articles/Introducing-manual-board-clearing-for-your-next-gen-Kanban-board/ba-p/1411958

Is this what you were looking for?

[rachael.axtman]

Daniel - Thank you for the response. That is not what I'm looking for (I did see that option). I want the "Done" status as an option on the Jira ticket in the drop down. I do not want the "Done" column to display at all on the board. 

My "Done" status custom text "Released" so the goal is that when work has been released I can mark it as "Released" and have it no longer show on the Kanban board.

The screenshot below is our current board (NOT next-gen) where there is a "Released" status as an option BUT the last column is "Pending Release" so once we mark the feature as "Released" is when it is off the board. I am moving us over to a next-gen board and would like to mimic this behavior.

[Daniel Ebers]

I see, makes sense now.
This is unfortunately not possible with next-gen boards.

Reproducing your requirement I was able to rename the column from "Done" to "Released" but it's not possible to remove the column in a way the requirement would work.

[rachael.axtman]

Gotcha! Thank you Daniel.

Are you utilizing the Release functionality in the project?

What is Release functionality? 

[Trudy Claspill]

Here is one link to documentation about the Release functionality. I'm sure you can find more if you do some searching.

I work primarily in Classic projects with Kanban boards. In that scenario, typically the Kanban boards are configured with a subfilter that says if an issue is included in a Version that has been Released, then don't show it on the board.

I have not worked much with Next Gen projects, though, so I don't know if the same applies there.

[rachael.axtman]

Yeah it seems that Next Gen projects are much more simplified with functionality
