After the changes made on the status field location (https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-articles/Easier-status-updates-for-work-items/ba-p/3068881), the status field now is placed in a different location, which prevents working from the comments section, for example.

Previous location: The status field was grouped with other actions, which sometimes made it tricky to find.

New location: The status field is now below the summary field, right next to the Add button.

If there is a ticket with lots of information in the description or additional custom fields, we now have to scroll all the way back to the top to change the status. Or typically someone will say something in the comments like, OK to close, or please move to testings, then it must go back to the top of the page to change that.

Resolution Suggestion

It would be better if users could freely decide and configure where they want the status field to be placed on the screens.
