Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

I want to change workflow status and have the new status only apply to my project. Before I modify the config file I want to know if i have mutliple projects sharring the same instance of mantis, will this change impact all projects using the same instance? If so, is the best workaround to just create a new instance of mantis for my project? Or can i have two different projects specify different workflow status using the same instance of Mantis. Any help would be appreciated.
