Hi @Pokemon Blues

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

In Jira there are two types of projects: team-managed (aka next-gen) and company-managed (aka classic) projects. You can learn more about them in the documentation.

In your project response, there's the information "style": "classic" which identifies your project as a company-managed project. Company-managed projects only support global statuses not project-specific ones. Therefore, you simply can't do that.

What you can do:

* Create global statuses
Remove the project scope and add GLOBAL as type inside the scope as described in the docs.
* Use a team-managed project
Create a new project which is a team-managed one and move any existing issues to the new one.

Hope that helps,
Matthias.
