New Projects are currently created as "In Progress". This doesn't work for our business and leads to confusion. Please add the ability to configure the default status for a new project, so we can choose "Waiting to Start" or one of our custom statuses.

This is terribly confusing, we create a job, it is created as 'In Progress'. set by the default in WG (why isn't it our choice what the job is created as?).  The other set status by WG is 'Waiting to Start' which we can't delete or even set as the default.   Makes much more sense for us that this status is set as the default.   Just because a job is created doesn't mean it is automatically in progress.  Be nice to have the compulsory status's removed and the option to select the default.

I back this.


We have a number of custom statuses which when selected, linked to WFM's pre-sets and allowed better visibility of where projects were via the dashboard.


The WG app shows every historic job because we can't seem to filter the jobs (narrow them down).
