Hello,

Could any one help me if it is possible to apply workflow on JIRA issue when the issues was linked by certain issue type.

Example I have a issue type "STORY" and I want to apply workflow on this issue type only when this issue was linked by issue type "BUG".

Which means I want to apply workflow only to the issues type "STORY" and linked by "BUG" tickets.

Hi Behara - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

No, that is not possible. An issue type can be linked to one and only one workflow on a project. And it cannot be dynamic - it is the same workflow for all issues for that issue type.
