Renaming a status in a team-managed project’s workflow affects only that project’s workflow, as statuses in team-managed projects are project-specific. The primary impact is thatsaved filters that reference the status must be updated(Option D), as JQL queries in filters use status names and will no longer return correct results if the status name changes.
Explanation of the Correct Answer (Option D):
In Jira, saved filters often use JQL queries that reference status names (e.g., status = "In Progress"). If a status is renamed in a team-managed project’s workflow (e.g., from “In Progress” to “Active”), any filters referencing the old status name will no longer include issues in the renamed status. These filters must be updated to use the new status name.
Exact Extract from Documentation:
Manage statuses in team-managed projects
Statuses in team-managed projects are project-specific and edited inProject settings > Workflow. Renaming a status changes its name for that project’s issues.
Impact: JQL queries in filters, boards, or dashboards that reference the status name (e.g., status = "In Progress") will no longer match issues in the renamed status. Update these queries to use the new status name.

Why This Fits: Renaming a status affects JQL-based filters that explicitly reference the status, requiring updates to reflect the new name, making Option D the correct answer.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
The status will be renamed in all team-managed workflows (Option A):
Statuses in team-managed projects are project-specific, not shared across projects. Renaming a status in one project’s workflow does not affect other team-managed projects.
Extract from Documentation:
Each team-managed project has its own workflow and statuses, independent of other projects. Changes to a status in one project do not affect others.
(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Configure workflows in team-managed projects")
Workflow rules in team-managed projects are tied to status IDs, not names. Renaming a status does not require updating rules.
(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Configure workflows in team-managed projects")
Transitions are linked to statuses by internal IDs. Renaming a Bedrock status does not affect transition configurations.
(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Configure workflows in team-managed projects")
Statuses in team-managed projects are project-specific and not listed inSettings > Issues > Statuses, which is for company-managed projects.
(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Manage statuses in Jira Cloud")
Additional Notes:
Renaming a status in a team-managed project is done inProject settings > Workflowand requires project admin privileges.
To minimize filter issues, use status IDs in JQL queries (e.g., status = 10001), but this is less common than using names.
