Is it possible to have two workflows in the same project?

[Lara Sousa]

I have a project with two different boards. I would like the boards to use different workflows, is it possible?

Hi @Lara Sousa 

It is possible, but only if each Board was using separate Issue Types.

Issue Types can have different Workflows, Screens, and Field Configurations within Jira - so you could have...

• Story - Story Workflow
• Bug - Bug Workflow
• ...etc

...but it's not possible to have 2 different Workflows for Story concurrently in 1 Project, that's when the second Project would be necessary. You could have different Statuses with set parameters (eg. Group1 can conditionally use 3 Statuses, Group2 can use another 3), but that can get very complex.

Could you give us more information about your specific use-case? We'd be happy to provide you with some recommendations based on that :)

Hi,

the workflow is tied to an issue type. A board is just a way to display issue. In a board each column is link with one or several status.

so in your case each board filter should retrieve different issue type.
