How to set status as done for multiple columns?

[SHRIKANT SHET]

I am using next gen project>scrum>board. I've to created following columns on the board:

• To be specified
• To do
• In progress
• Development complete
• Released for testing
• Pending for release
• Cancelled
• Not a bug
• Prod released

When the last three are chosen - Cancelled/Not a bug/prod release, I want these columns to be considered as "done". How do I achieve this?

Why have you set up swimlanes that mirror your columns?  This gives you a board with a single diagonal line of filled cells and renders all the wasted space useless.

Jira Software considers only the last column on a board as "done", so the only good way to consider multiple "done" status is to put them all in the last column.

Hi Nic, sorry, I wrote it wrong. I've created columns, not swimlanes. And I need multiple columns as done.

Would a better approach be to use multiple swimlanes for the things below instead of columns?

• Cancelled
• Not a bug
• Prod released

You can set up swimlanes for those three status, but they will have nothing to do with "done" - that is determined by columns.

Thank you Nic! I'll do that! :-)
