Bug or Misconfiguration?

I’m not sure if this is a bug or a misconfiguration, but I didn’t found a setting for the default task status.

Hi,

If you haven’t created much data yet you may be able to rename the statuses to correct this.

Feel free to create an issue on GitHub to track this:

You mean rename Done → Backlog and Backlog → Done?

What do you mean with “If you haven’t created much data yet”?
Because all currently Done tasks after that change are in status Backlog?
If that’s the case, then with over 700 existing tasks, it’s not feasible.

In that case I suggest asking on GitHub
