Is it possible to use a status transition to change from a status to 2 different statusses(steps)?

Keven Alex Oliveira Lopes

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the workflow: I want to use the same transition to change a status like from: Status 1 -> Status 2 (in case the previous status of Status 1 was Status 3) or, if not, to use the same transition to change the status from Status 1->Status 5 (in case the previous status of Status 1 was Status 4).

Practically, to change the current status in the same status transition in function of the previous status.

 

Could it be possible?

Hi @Keven Alex Oliveira Lopes ,

Unfortunately this isn't possible wiht standard Jira. You can only reuse an existing transition if both transitions have the same destination status. In your case you have to copy the functionality (post-functions etc.) from the transition number 1 to the transition number 2.

Maybe what you want to do is possible with the free App "Automation for Jira Server Lite (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211836/automation-for-jira-server-lite?hosting=server&tab=overview).

In this case you could decouple your functionality from the workflow because it works with events (i.e. "Issue transitioned to status 2 or 5"). This means your logic could be smth. like: IF issue in project XY transitioned to status 2/5 THEN do smth.

With kind regards,
Mario
