---------------------------------------

Jacques, 

The list of statuses can be configured per project, however this means a custom workflow will need to be created. This will then mean you no longer follow the JIRA default. 

If you project wants this, please can I ask that you describe (preferably in a flow diagram) the way you would like all your JIRA to be able to transition.  i.e. 

OPEN -> DONE
OPEN -> In Progress
DONE -> Re-opened
Re-Opened -> In-Progress

etc

Note that you will need at least 2 status types (open and closed) - however this rarely meets the social expectations. I urge you to think about this carefully. 

I will also ask you think it through as it will take a JIRA admin quite a bit of time to create the workflow for you, and constant changes will not be very welcome as changes to the workflows mean a re-index is required.  A re-index takes JIRA offline for about 2 hours.

> To avoid confusion, because most of the time "Fixed' is used since it's the 1st in the list (hence kind of default) even for not bug type issues, we would like to keep only "Done". Is that possible?
