When you create a Jira issue, it has the first status from the workflow after the create event. In software projects, it might be the status ‘Backlog’. When you want to transition it to another status, you use any of the available transitions eg. “Start” and issue changes status into “In progress”, or “Selected for development” to add an issue to the issue category “To Do”.
If you are using a Kanban board, you drag issues between columns to change their statuses. But most probably the first column is filled with selected action tasks from the backlog. With a backlog full of tasks, it's easy to lose track of the task which are scheduled and should be done.
Here is an example of a Kanban board from a sample Jira project:
Initial issue status with The Scheduler
The Scheduler allows you to select the desired state of created issue. Now you can Schedule issue right with the status “Selected for development” or “In progress” (see the example of template usage with: Manual Execution features ).
You set this status on the 2nd step of the wizard in the Scheduler DC,
or on the 2nd step of the wizard in the Scheduler Cloud.
Feature is not available in next-gen projects in Cloud.
When apps get access to workflows, then we will do our best to implement this feature. Looks like there are some ‘In the works’ changes related to workflows, we are monitoring the situation.
