danger

You can't delete the New and Fixed statuses or change their categories.

To delete a status, follow these steps:

  1. Select the delete button (Delete) in the status row.
  2. In the window that opens, confirm the status deletion.
caution

Before deleting a status, the system checks for security issues associated with the status.

If the system finds at least one security issue associated with the status, change that issue's status. Also, if the status is associated with at least one transition between statuses, confirm that you want to remove the status from the associated transitions and delete transitions where the status is the only value in the From and To fields. The transition can't exist without that status.

If the status isn't critical in a transition, the system doesn't delete that transition.

  1. Select Confirm and delete.
caution

The system deletes statuses asynchronously. Deletion time depends on the number of security issues associated with the status.

Importing and exporting status model parameters​

System users can import and export the status model configuration.

To import a configuration, upload it to the current configuration. This won't change or delete any current settings.

The system also includes presets for status and transition configurations.

To import a configuration, use a JSON file with the following structure:

{
"statuses": [
{
"key": "string",
"name": "string",
"description": "string",
"category": "string ('open' | 'closed')",
"color": "string (HEX code)",
"universal_transition": "boolean"
}
],
"transitions": [
{
"name": "string",
"description": "string",
"groups": [
"string"
],
"from_statuses_keys": [
"string (key)"
],
"to_statuses_keys": [
"string (key)"
],
"show_description_in_select": "boolean"
}
]
}

The system exports the complete configuration in JSON format.
