Hi Team,

Is the change of placement for the status box in Jira something Atlassian rolled out by default?

Hello @Archana Singh

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Yes, the Work Item Status has been relocated from its original position to under the Summary section as part of an experiment that the development team has recently rolled out across all customer instances.

You can read more details about this change here:

A Feature Request is in place to gather votes and attention from the team, which can be found here:
​https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-27789

Thank you!

Thank you for unilaterally, and without notification or consent, "experimenting" with the productivity and efficacy of entire industries. When is this "experiment" planned to end?

An interesting "experiment" to try out would be active communication prior. At the very least some indication or notification after the fact would have been useful as well.

A really cool "experiment" would be the concept of user choice rather than imposed inefficiency.

You can read more details about these "experiments" by Googling the concept of basic principles of UX design and customer communication.
