Why the status of the workflow W1 changes when we try to edit the status of workflow W2

[SWATI MISHRA]

We have created two different work spaces attached to two different issues (issue 1 and issue 2).

After adding a post function with Run CLI action(create-issue) on creation of issue 1, we found that while editing the status of one workflow to S1, the other workflow is also changing the status to S1. 

We have used Run CLI action for auto creating issue 2 on creation of issue 1.

PS: Auto creation is working with incorrect status.

Hello,

The Status field is a global entity. If is not a workflow entity. If you change a status name, the name will be changed in all workflows, where the status is used. If you want to have different names for a status in different workflows, you should create a separate status for each workflow.
