Migration path from Jira Server to Jira Cloud

New Status Colors for Jira Server is a plug’n’play plugin to see some statuses like Waiting, On Hold, … in “orange” and Denied, Cancelled, Rejected, … as red colored statuses.

New Status Colors PRO for Jira Server is the same but you can go to the standard “Statuses” page of Jira to add more colors to the statuses using the colorname between parenthesis in the desceription of the status.

Basically the migration can be:

  • Install New Status Colors PRO for Jira Cloud

  • Go to the Statuses page of Jira Cloud and edit the Waiting,On Hold, statuses and add “(orange)” in the description and in the Discarded/Cancelled/Rejected/Denied statuses you can add “(red)” in the description of the statuses.

  • To see the changes a plugin must be installed in the browsers by the users (Chrome, Firefox, Edge are compatibles)

That’s all!
