Kanban Collumns Showing Statuses That No Longer Exist in the Project

[Christian]

Hello All

I recently took over a Jira Instance that had many different workflows that were being unused, as there was a very unorganized approach to managing the Jira instance. Because of this, I noticed that when I made a Kanban Board with any filter other than selecting from a single project, there would be close to a hundred possible statuses that could be mapped to columns. 

Because of this, I went through the effort of remapping countless issues to new workflows, being able to delete many old workflows and statuses affiliated with them. Now, when I go to the "Statuses" section in my Jira Admin settings, I only see roughly 20 statuses in our entire site. However, When I go back to my Kanban board, or create a new one, I still see many statuses that are not on the site anymore or available to be even added to a workflow. Furthermore, many statuses are duplicated, even ones that are unique to only one workflow. It seems like broken functionality to me, but if there something else I can do to fix this let me know.

Thanks!

Hello @Christian 

In your Jira instance do you allow use of Team Managed projects? If so, such projects don't reference the globally defined Status value and Workflows. The Status values within those projects are unique and independent of the global Statuses, even if they have the same name.

If you are creating board filters that encompass Team Managed projects then you are likely picking up the Status values defined in those projects also.
