How groups inherit statuses
When you list the statuses available for a group, you see the following
- Custom statuses created for the group, as explained in Create or edit a group status.
- Statuses inherited from the system and from higher in the group hierarchy, as explained in this article.
Inheriting statuses
Your group inherits statuses when any of the following things happen:
- You create the group.
- An administrator locks a status in a higher level group.
- An administrator deletes another group and chooses your group to take its place.
The table below explains each of these circumstances.
Inheriting status configurations
When you create a top-level group, it inherits the following configurations from the system level. When you create a subgroup, it inherits the following configurations from the next higher group.
-
Default status configurations
For information about these, see Use custom statuses as default statuses.
-
Status display order configurations
For information about these, see Reorder system-level and group statuses.
If someone changes these configurations after your group is created, its statuses are not affected.
