Can a screen title in a transition have a different name to the transition

[shane-nz]

My business owner wants to know if I can change the title of the screen that appears in a workflow transition, whilst still keeping the transition name.

From the Backlog step to the Open step the name of the transition from the Action button should rename Open, however the screen in between is where my business owner wants to title the dialog as "Open - Review and Accept details"

I have tried adjusting the workflow property jira.i18n.title to "Open - Review and Accept details" however this has now adjusted the transition name on the action button



I have not had to attempt this before so I am not sure this combination is doable?

The ideal presentation would have the action button adjusted accordingly and keep the screen title

Hi @shane-nz 

This as mentioned by @Tomislav Tobijas "Screen name/title on the transition = transition name. I think that jira.i18n.title property is shared with both entities" is indeed the same.

On your requirement, this is not possible.

If you use a screen on a transition, the title shown on the screen is identical to the transition name, so the property can adjusts the title, but this impacts both.

You could use a custom field of type text read only, with a default value on the transitions screen, but if you need more then only the option on this transition, then for me this is not a manageable solution and I would just be straight and tell this requirement can't be fulfilled.

Hi @shane-nz ,

Screen name/title on the transition = transition name. I think that jira.i18n.title property is shared with both entities, meaning that when you update it, it will reflect on the dialog title and the button text simultaneously.

You could tweak it a bit by using Message field and putting some custom text there, but the title of the dialog would still be the same.

I didn't find a specific feature request for what you're looking for, but I do know some of our clients asked us for the ability to change the "Update" button on the transition screen and here's the request for it JRACLOUD-98006 

*I just noticed this is a server/DC question, but the same thing applies to both cloud and on-prem.

Cheers,
Tobi

Interesting, 

I think the Message field exists for Cloud only. (or its in a data center version we have not published yet)

I will look into the possibility of a mimicking that feature with a read-only text field.

Ah, interesting... Might have mixed this up then, as I know we did one migration from DC to cloud, and we used this field, but it might be that it was additionally created on cloud, after migration.

Would be worth checking if something like that is available on DC (also might depend on the DC version you have), but some kind of workaround should be possible.

Also, if you have apps such as ScriptRunner, I do believe you should be able to achieve a similar thing with Behaviors feature. 🤔
