      Problem Definition

      It is currently not possible to create a status without any Category via the JIRA UI.

      Suggested Solution

      It would be good to have the possibility of manually selecting the option No Category via the UI while editing or creating a Status.

      Workaround

      It is possible to edit the category directly in the database, using the steps below:

      1. Take a Backup from your JIRA Database to revert back if there are any problems.
      2. Stop JIRA.
      3. Run the SQL Query below in the database for modifying the category of a status to "No Category": 
        UPDATE issuestatus SET statuscategory = 1 WHERE pname = 'STATUS_NAME';
      4. Start JIRA.

            Even if it might not be able to create statuses without category, one should at least be able to change the description of those statuses without category without adding a category (for instance for those automatically created by Jira SD).

            As Jira ServiceDesk is creating statuses without category itself it should become possible to do this by manual action too. Or to prevent the existence of non-category statuses

            I wonder how many places break if you have a status without a category?
