    Hey @heena_shirke ,

     

    There is no built in native functionality to create status paths. This is a great idea and you should add it to the ideas section of this community. Nevertheless, you can explore two other alternatives - 

     

    1. Set up a Fusion scenario that listens for status changes.
      • If an “invalid” status transition is detected, revert the change, notify the user, or correct it.
    2. Workfront Boards lets you define columns for statuses and you can restrict movement between columns. But this does not apply to the classic list view and will not update the status of your underlying tasks on the board.
