Status field is showing under description instead of on the right above the context fields

Issue observed in Team managed project

Can we move the status field to context field as before?

Hey @sai rohit 
Go to your project settings -> Work Types.

Select the work type you see this issue in and check its Layout - my guess is that you'll find the issue there.

Best Regards,

Ariel.

Hello @sai rohit 

Google Search AI produced this response.

In Jira Cloud, the status field is now displayed under the "Description" field, not within the "Context Fields" area, according to Atlassian. This change was part of an Atlassian experiment to prioritize key actions like adding content and progressing the status, according to Atlassian. While some users have found this change disruptive, Atlassian is not currently offering a way to revert to the previous placement. 

And per an accepted answer on this post, you can contact Atlassian Support to have the status moved back to the Context area.
