New state details
Each Ketura issue has a state, which defines how far the issue has progressed in the workflow defined for it. Each state is either active (issues in the state are still outstanding) or inactive (issue in the state have been dealt with and no longer need to be considered). Typical states might include ‘New’, ‘Resolved’, ‘Rejected’, ‘In Progress’, etc.
