Please acknowledge that you are hearing the community and just how disruptive moving the Ticket Status button was.  This is beyond painful and ruins productivity, workflow, and sanity.

I can understand the frustration here, and yes, we’re aware of the concerns around the recent changes to ticket statuses. From a technical perspective, this kind of issue can happen if an automation rule, workflow script, or bulk update job was triggered unintentionally. In many ticketing systems, status fields are tied to workflow automations and API calls, so even a small change in configuration can result in tickets being moved en masse.

The team is currently reviewing the audit logs and database change history to trace exactly when and how the status changes were applied. If it was an automation trigger, it will be paused and rolled back; if it was a configuration error, we’ll correct the workflow logic and restore the last known good statuses. For customers, this means we’ll be able to revert the affected tickets using the audit trail, ensuring data integrity without losing any updates.

Going forward, we’ll also implement additional safeguards such as bulk-change confirmations, anomaly detection (to alert when a large number of tickets change in a short time), and stricter permission checks for automated jobs. This way, we can prevent unnecessary disruptions and keep ticket handling aligned with customer expectations.

Welcome @Joe Firebaugh 

I hope they will revert these changes back. This is the fastest growing request so far.

I'm just baffled that this made it through any kind of testing and review.  Does Atlassian not even use their own products?  Most developers at my company immediately saw the poor UX of moving the status button, as it gets scrolled off screen during comment reading and authoring.

And there's another thing that's not getting talked about that much.  People like me have been using Jira for YEARS.  The muscle memory for navigating ticket state is real, and I've not given it thought.  Every time I click that stupid `Improve this Ticket` button that I didn't ask for just makes me even more annoyed.

@Joe Firebaugh I was surprised by this change as well. The only thing we can do is sit and wait.
