in the status column, is it possible to include a date in one of the status options?
@SiriusScrumMaster You can set the label to any text you like really.
For example, you can set the label to “2025-11-21” or to “November”

If you literally mean “Can a status label contain a date?” — yes, you can type a date as the label text.
But it will always be static text, not a real date field.
If what you’re actually trying to do is timestamp when a status changes, then Status alone won’t do that.
You’d use a Date column + automation, like:
When status changes to X → set Date column to today.
That gives you a real date you can sort, filter, and report on — not just a date typed into the label.
So yes, you can put dates in the label if you want… but if you need real tracking of when something reached that status, you’ll want the automation approach instead.
You can’t put an actual date inside a Status column, but the usual workaround is to add a Date column and automate it. Just set an automation like “When status changes to X, set date to today.” That way, the date updates automatically whenever the status changes.
