Add more workflow transition buttons to Jira issue page in v9.x

[bhimashankar_poddar]

Hello everyone,

We have a project requirement to enhance user accessibility by displaying additional or specific workflow transition buttons on the issue view screen.

Current Jira setup:

• Version: Jira Server v9.4 with a Data Center license
• Environment: Linux VM

I came across this Atlassian document about adding more workflow transition buttons:
Add More Workflow Transition Buttons to Jira Issue Page

I tried the approach mentioned in the document, which involves updating the ops.bar.group.size.opsbar-transitions attribute in the jira-config.properties file. However, it doesn't seem to work with Jira Server v9.x.

Our specific requirements are:

1. Display a particular workflow transition button from available transition options. As these transition buttons can be changed based on the current issue status and user permissions
2. Show this button based on specific conditions, such as when the issue status is 'Done' or if the 'Due Date' is less than a certain date...something like this.

Is there an alternative way to implement this functionality in Jira Server v9.x? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @bhimashankar_poddar 

What I can remember is that in Jira 9 the layout has changed somewhat, also in relation to view workflow.

I think that this opsbar transition number is not a valid option anymore.

See, JRASERVER-74434

Hello @Marc - Devoteam 

Thank you for your reply. 

Yes, I have seen this ticket details as well...as it mentions the same thing that modifying the ops.bar.group.size.opsbar-transitions attribute value no longer has any affect and there is no out of the box workaround for this Suggestion at the moment.

So, is it like dead-end for this kind of requirement in newer versions of Jira Software?

Do you have any further suggestions? Thanks

No currently there are no options.
