About

Jira Issue Status Restorer is a lightweight browser extension that brings back the familiar status dropdown placement in Jira Cloud.

By default, Jira recently moved the issue status switcher away from the top-right corner of the issue view, which disrupted the established workflow for many users. This extension restores the status dropdown to its original position — the top-right corner — which is the only logical place to quickly view and change issue status.

Features:
- Moves the Jira status dropdown back to the top-right of the issue view
- Simple, efficient, and unobtrusive
- Works across all Jira Cloud instances (*.atlassian.net)
- Advanced settings: adjust or reset CSS selectors if Atlassian changes their DOM

This project is open for audit and review to ensure transparency. It is a private, personal project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Atlassian or the Jira team.

Bring back the status dropdown where it belongs — and keep your Jira workflow efficient.
