How to change the possible project status ?
Hello,
i managed to install a fresh copy on ubuntu 18.04. It's working well and i really appreciate what i'm discovering.
One thing i did not find still is the place where i can change the item for project status : OFF track, ON track ..
I did not find a way to change these items.
Any clue ?
thanks
Hello Benoit,
the status values themselves are fixed to the three traffic light ones (+ one undefined state) , however you can use the status description to customize the status.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. I don't get the idea behind that fixed field.
It would be great to allow to edit that list with more precise status.
How to mention that a whole project is on hold, canceled, archived, finished?
I don't catch the logic behind this field..

Could this be implemented via "Enumerations"?
Hello.
I'm currently trying to mvoe our company to openproject as we have some time to work on our tool during the COVID shutdown.
Where can I make a request for this possible change ?
I'd like to have an Admin access to this field, to define differente potential status that would fit our activity.
Thanks a lot !

Somehow I don't get it: for me there is a real difference between
- the traffic light status (as currently implemented): which is a sort of ad-hoc reporting status
- status values 'planned', 'cleared', 'initiated', 'running', ... 'closed' and whatever you can think of which are progress status values.
Why not use custom fields for storing progress status values?
I'd prefer to use the status as there is a widget dedicated for that and that specific field is called easily, instead of custom field.
I like the red/orange/green sign, but not the text attached to that.
as it's hardcoded, I could just modify the text in the source code, but that seems counterproductive..
