How to Add a Status to a Column in Jira
Here’s how you can add a new status to a column in Jira:
- Navigate to your Jira project.
- In the sidebar, select the ellipsis icon located at the upper right side of your board.
- Select 'Configure board'.
- Click 'Columns'.
- If the status already exists in the workflow but is not yet assigned to a column, it will appear in the 'Unmapped Statuses' section. You can drag and drop the status into the appropriate column.
- After dragging the status, it will now appear under the column you’ve assigned it to.
- By following these steps, you can easily manage the board columns and align them with your workflow statuses.
