Project Administrator can not able to add/remove the any of the workflow statusses Options

Question

Hi Team,

In Jira, Project Administrator can not able to add/remove the any of the workflow status options. He can only remove/edit statussed. But not able to add post functions, validators etc.

Only JIRA Admins can do that.  How Project Admin can do this?

Every time contacting JIRA Admins for small changes is not a good thing.

Please suggest us.

The project admin access to edit workflows is limited to them being able to change it to match their processes (i.e. status flow).

Project administrators are not expected to have to understand Jira admin as part of their jobs and if you want to mess with properties, workflow-functions and transisions, you really do need to understand Jira admin because if you don't, you are probably going to break something!

Hi John,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, here the workflow is customized one and it is not shared to any other projects.

Project Admin is able to Edit or Remove the Workflow Statuses but not able to edit "options" even not able to clickable on those.

Hi @Ammanna Babu Kagitha ,

If the workflow attached to the project is a Simplified workflow that was created originally with the project, then the project administrator can change the workflow because it is unique to that project.

But if the workflow is shared with other projects, then the Jira Administrator must make the change because it affects more than one project.
