Custom statuses in a group that is moved or deleted
This article explains what happens to group custom statuses when you move or delete a group.
Customized statuses in a group that is moved
Consider the following scenarios describing what happens to group custom statuses when you move one group to a new location under another group.

Customized statuses in a group that is deleted
When you delete a group or subgroup, you reassign the information associated with it, including its customized statuses, to another group or subgroup. The deleted group’s statuses are added to those of the destination group.
If one of the deleted group’s statuses was also being used by the destination group (the status in both groups has the same key), and the destination group customized the status in different ways, the settings of the destination group’s version override the settings of the moved group’s version.
- The name of Group B version of the status overrides the name of the Group A version.
- If the status was applied to an object by someone in Group A before that group was deleted, the status name on the object updates to the name for the status used by Group B.
