Can't add, edit, or delete statuses for next-gen workflows

Christine B

I'm an admin for both my org and projects, but seem to have lost the ability to modify workflow statuses for any of our next-gen projects.

We run a mix of classic and next-gen projects in my org and recently decided to make some changes to our company workflows across all scrum teams. Prior to today, I have been able to create and modify all of our workflows without issue. However, when I attempted to do so today, the option was disabled for all of our next-gen projects.

Selecting a status displays the message "This status is shared across multiple workflows", and the option to "Make changes to this status for <issue type> issues only" is not selectable. The ability to delete and add new statuses is also disabled.

Hi Christine - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I didn't even know this was possible! This looks like new functionality that is coming soon, but they are not quite there. In the future you will be able to create a different workflow per issue type, but for now, any change to the single workflow affects all issue types. That's not surprising since you can't separate them anyway.  :-)

I will still able to save it though. But you are saying you made a change and it won't let you save it all?

What happens if you click the link that says to just save it for Sub-tasks only? 

I am also going to tag Atlassian on this so hopefully someone can take a look.
