How to set up and validate locally

  1. Enable custom statuses feature flag:

    echo "Feature.enable(:work_item_status_feature_flag)" | rails c

  2. In an issue description enter all the queries mentioned in the "Screenshots" section.

  3. The tables should display as expected.

  4. Enable GLQL work items feature flag

    echo "Feature.enable(:glql_work_items)" | rails c

  5. The tables should still display as expected with an "Experiment" badge.
