Editing on Workflow in JIRA Server

[Ruba ElNasser]

Hi all,

I want to edit the default workflow to include a status of testing so I want my workflow to be the followings

To Do    In progress   Development Done   Ready for Testing  Testing   Ready for Production

Can you help me in figuring out the transitions I need to create and the correct logic of doing this?

Hi @Ruba ElNasser,

Jira default workflow can't be edited.  Please refer

You can create new/custom workflow and add the required status and transitions

Hi! 

One way is:

1. Copy exist workflow

2. Adjust (add status - > and one the status -> check the checkbox  "Allow all statuses to transition to this one" or create other transition)

3. Finally, associate it

About transition: you can use many to one, or one to one with reuse functionality

@Sreenivasaraju P Thanks for your reply but do you apply testing as status in your company, if yes, could you please just share a screen shot of the workflow just to have a clue how status and transitions connected when we add testing to the workflow.

@Gonchik Tsymzhitov  Thanks of your reply I want to know the right logic of adding testing status to the workflow, if you apply this in your company, can you share a screen shot of the workflow just to see how testing status is connected to other statuses?

Thanks,

Ruba
