Description

Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

Yes

Orgmode link

https://orgmode.org/manual/Per_002dfile-keywords.html

Feature value

Could be used for a jira.org file that would behave one way, while a hiring.org file would have a different workflow

jira.org: TODO PROGRESS QA | DONE
hiring.org LEAD INTERVIEW OFFER-PENDING | ACCEPTED REJECTED

Additional context

Note, it allows multiple workflows per file. (see the example in the ormode link) so "bug" could have one set of todo statuses and "features" could have another

Start with the linked Org-mode per-file keywords manual section, then locate the repository's existing TODO keyword handling. Confirm how multiple workflows could be represented per file; done means supporting distinct custom keyword sets for files such as jira.org and hiring.org.
