How does Power Admin for Jira detect the status usage?

This document explains how Power Admin identifies the usage and dependencies of statuses in a Jira configuration.

Status usage in workflows

Dependency is detected if a workflow participant's property refers to a status (by name or ID).

Status usage in agile boards

Dependency is detected if:

• There is a reference to the status in the board's JQL entries (Saved filters, Cardcolors, Quick filters, Subqueries, Swimlanes).

• The card colors' configuration is based on a certain status.

Status usage in filters

Dependency is detected if a filter’s JQL query refers to a certain status.

Status usage in service projects

Dependency is detected when the status is referred to in Request types, Queues, SLAs, or (Legacy) Automation rules. Usage detection happens when the service projects' cached index is generated for the first time or when it’s refreshed.
