Jira Backlog Status Extension

This extension only works on the Jira Website and only on the specific Backlog View starting with https://*.atlassian.net/jira/software/. If you're using a different Project Type this extension will not work.

The extension does not work out of the box, you need to first configure in Board Settings displaying extra fields under the Card Layout tab. Make sure you add the Status field as the first Extra Field for both the Backlog and Active Sprint sections.

UPDATE (v1.0.2): We now load all of the project statuses from Jira - all of your projects custom statuses should now be stored and color-highlighted correctly.

Diego A. Ramos (ID: 0000003001e3a971) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/28/2023 Very useful. It could be better if you get the other labels and, like status, you add it left of summary, ex: labelslabels summary (point) status Thanks

Erik Nilsson (ID: 000000eec527b1ee) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/24/2022 Any chance you could add correct colors to the statuses? Thanks!

Kate Smith (ID: 0000008c65219841) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/19/2022 Amazing! Is it possible to have it render before the story points, priority, ticket number and assigned user. So that those things all stay aligned?
