Problem Definition
On the Work board, when dragging an issue to a column with multiple statuses, the candidate statuses are shown when hovering over the column. This is good, because I know what will happen to this issue.
Unfortunately, this breaks when the issue cannot be transitioned to some of the statuses of the column: If there is only one target status left, that status is no longer shown. In this case, it is incredibly hard to predict to which status the item will transition to. E.g. in our fairly normal workflow, it is for example not possible to stop progress on an item which you are not assigned to.
The customers would want to be able to transition the issues over the workflow using board without the need to have in mind a complex workflow.
Suggested Solution
A workaround is to pick a workflow which allows all transitions (or even using the Jira Agile Simplified Workflow), but since our "global issue tracking project" is centrally managed, this is not something I can influence.
So, I'd expect that the target status is always shown when dragging items to a column with multiple statuses. Optionally, the target statuses could also simply always be shown. Another option would be to also show statues to which one cannot transition (e.g. in red) and display an explanation if someone should drop the item there.

[JSWSERVER-10465] Always show target status when dragging issues on Board to a column with multiple statuses
As per JSWSERVER-16388, I think target transition is what is meant here, not target status
The solution by 789adf8eb0b1 works flawlessly, thank you very much.
I did ugly crutch for resolve this problem.
- Follow to /secure/admin/EditAnnouncementBanner.jspa
- Add this script:
<script>
if (window.location.pathname.search('/secure/RapidBoard.jspa') === 0) {
AJS.toInit(function () {
GH.tpl.rapid.workdraganddrop.renderDropZone = function (opt_data, opt_ignored) {
return '<div class="ghx-zone-row" target-transition-id="' + soy.$$escapeHtml(opt_data.transition.id) + '" target-transition-status="' + soy.$$escapeHtml(opt_data.transition.targetStatus) + '"><div class="ghx-zone-cell">' + '<h2>' + soy.$$escapeHtml(opt_data.transition.name) + '</h2>' + '</div></div>';
};
});
console.log('!!! GH.tpl.rapid.workdraganddrop.renderDropZone was changed');
}
$('#announcement-banner').remove();
</script>
Now target status will show always.
Function was redefined.
Please, if you don't understand what you do, then don't do it.
Compare your function "GH.tpl.rapid.workdraganddrop.renderDropZone" with my variant
This simple feature would be great for our workflows. Since it could reduce mistakes people make.

added a comment - Yes, this feature will be very helpful for us. We have some long path in our workflow and it is winding back and forth among the columns. Unless the user memorize the entire workflow, it is hard to know which status it will become. Hence mistakes occur. Showing the destination status will reduce such mistakes.

Adding the possibility to show the transition name even if there is just one transition would help us a lot.
I think that this is not still possible - I am on 9.4.9 and when dragging to column with one status - the status is not displayed.
