      As a scrum or kanban board user, I would like to be able to transition my issues between statuses that are mapped to the same column so that I don't have to use the workflow controls to do the transition.

      In JIRA Agile v6.6.0, if multiple statuses are mapped to a column, it is impossible to transition a story from one status to another in the same column even though there is valid transition.

      In my case, I've created a Kanban board with the columns Not Started - Analysis - Development - Testing - UAT - Done. There are two statuses mapped to each of the middle for columns (e.g. Ready for Analysis and In Analysis, Ready for Development and In Development, etc.). I am showing the status on the card layout to eliminate ambiguity. But I can't move the card from "Ready for Analysis" to "In Analysis" with drag and drop. I have to use the workflow controls instead. Which renders the whole board pretty unusable.
