When creating item - Change workflow Initial Status from "backlog"

[Tsah Barnea]

Hi,

Is there a way for me to choose a different option than "backlog" when opening an item in JIRA?

by default - it chooses backlog. how can i change default to a different step in workflow (for example: "Doing")

Also,and impornat just as much - can i add the possibility in creation pop up of the item?

Thank you

Hi @Tsah Barnea ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

First status is not selectable and it depends for the related issue workflow. (Here how to edit it https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/edit-an-issue-workflow/)

If you want to have DOing as first step, please edit your workflow so that Doing is the destination step for creation action.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
