How can I add a post function as a default on a status of cancel for all workflows it's used in?

Instead of having to edit every workflow and manually add a post function to set resolution to Cancelled when an issue is cancelled. Is there a way to make the post function part of the defaults associated with the use of a Cancelled status?

So there is no way to do this. Well actually there is, you need to have a single workflow. Of course that isn’t what you want so then my original sentence remains the right answer. Also, note that a post function does not apply to a Status but rather to a transition to a status. For this to work Jira would need to support global transitions which it does not. Now one possible idea would be to consider a Global  automation rule ...

trigger = transition

condition = status = cancelled

action = edit issue and do the PF thingy
