Use consistent treatment to represent State for items in Lists/Boards/Widgets

Summary

Today, we use different treatment for the State (Open vs Closed) of work items across different areas of the product. We also currently have differences between work item types, where Epics show Open badges on the Child/Linked widget, but Issues & Tasks only use a Closed badge (along with a dedicated Status field).

Proposal

Look at unifying how we treat Open & Closed states on items across different instances in the product:

  • List view
  • Child & Linked widgets
  • Board view
  • Table view (future)
