Next gen - status to Column is one-to-one?

[liz]

It seems that in next gen can I only have one status values per column i.e. if I create a new status in fact I am also creating a new column. is the that correct?

If it is correct does anyone know if it is planned to change any time soon?

I think in Classic I can have more than one status value per column?

Thank you

Columns and statuses on your boards will be decoupled so you can map multiple statuses to a single column creating a more focused and concise board. We'll even give you a dedicated space to manage it all, helping to distinguish set up things from work things.

Coming this year!

Mmm. That's a question for Atlassian! From what I can see it's pretty much due now.

See: https://www.atlassian.com/roadmap/cloud?category=jiraNextGenProjects&

I'd recommend keeping an eye on the weekly release notes to see how the product is developing. See: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/blog/2021/01
