Hi,

This case is related with https://getsupport.atlassian.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/20/GHS-191157
The documentation on Kanban column configuration is very clear – Columns are based on global statuses, but user want to decoupling JIRA boards: columns to status 1-1 relationship. 

In agile, we hope we can create any number of columns without being mapped to status, changing status when changing column is optional,  and to track which column a card is in there is a "BOARD COLUMN" field distinct from the status field. It can be used to find where the work item are on the Kanban independently from the work item status and report accurately on work in process.  

Hope the feature can be implemented in Jira agile board.

 

Thanks,

Jing
