How do I change which column is set at the "done" column?

Amber September 28, 2020

I have accidentally ended up with my "to do" column set as my "Done" column

I did this because I deleted all other columns and added in new ones and as this was the only column left after deleting the old ones it was by default set as the "Done column"

How do I set a different column to have this setting or remove this setting altogether?

Fixed it!

Just resorted to creating another column, moved the tickets from the incorrect to do column into my new column, deleted the incorrect to do and at this point the app makes you chose which column is your "Done" column and you can pick from your other columns. Bit of faff but worked a treat.

Hi Amber.  Glad you found the solution!  I was just on the way of re-activating my cloud instance to see if I could reproduce the problem and find a solution.  Good to know for future reference! :)

The rightmost column is considered the "Done" column, so I'd re-create a new "Done" column and map whever the statues you want. 

I believe you need to be the Board Administrator in order to add more Columns or remap Statues (https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/configure-columns/)

Good luck!

Thanks Ricky, I am a the board admin but I am using a Next Gen project not a classic project which doesn't seem to have that functionality yet :(
