How do I limit the statuses of Epics?

[Nick van der Net]

Hi guys, I'd have a Next-Gen project and I'd like to limit the statuses of my Epics (to To-Do, In-Progress and Done), whilst the underlying Stories and Tasks are allowed all statuses.

Is there any way to do this? Thank!

Hi @Nick van der Net 

In classic projects you can set workflows by issue type but it is not possible in next gen projects... yet!

They are working on it and it will be available this year, although we can't say when yet I'm afraid.

Thanks Stuart. My project is on a journey of maturity, so this may dovetail nicely. Thanks!
