select a status when creating a task

[Ivan Andrieiev]

When creating a task, it was suggested to immediately put it in the status, is this some kind of update, was there no such thing before?

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev 

This is new functionality, it has been rolling out recently (I've seen it in an instance).

You can choose whether this is an option or not for Users at a Site Level:

1. Go to Settings > System
2. Select General Configuration from the left-hand menu
3. Press Edit Settings
4. Under Options choose ON or OFF for "Status", which has the description: "Allow users to select a status for an issue they're creating."

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev ,

In your image above you show that the Status field is displayed on the create screen. Is this what you mean by "suggested"? It appears that you are on a TMP project here. It is interesting that the Status field is displayed on the create screen. This is not the case in my instance nor am I able to find a way to make that actually happen.

it is a company manage project, I did not change anything in the settings, but this field appeared when creating the task.
