Apply statuses to work that is associated with a group

If a project is associated with a group, you can apply both system-level statuses as well as a custom status associated with that group to the project, or tasks and issues on that project. For information about group statuses in Adobe Workfront, see Create or edit a status.

TIP
You can associate only projects with groups. Issues and tasks inherit the group from the project they belong to.
