How to change status on adding to sprint

[john]

When adding an item from the backlog to a sprint, within the backlog page on a scrum board, I wish for the status to change from Project Backlog to Open

Looks like this might have been solved in this question

1. "adding an item from the backlog to a sprint" triggers generic event. You may need to add your own custom event for the Sprint custom field update only.

2. Then you can register IssueEventListener Listener configured for above event

3. Listener triggers workflow transition for the issue in response to custom field change.

Im not sure if cloud allows all of that

looks as if you cant register IssueEventListener using cloud
