Actually creating a workflow

Question

Hello,

I am trying to create/edit a workflow for a new project I created on my site.

Every time I try to copy and change a workflow...I see this message

Generated by JIRA Software version 1001.0.0-SNAPSHOT. This workflow is managed internally by Jira Software. Do not manually modify this workflow.

This makes it seem that I should not mess with that workflow...so then..how do I create and set up a new workflow for my project?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, that is correct.

Assuming you create the project from scratch and not based on an existing project.

Sorry for the delay in reply!

The overall situation is I am the admin for a new site and there will be 3 projects (immediately) with the idea that as time goes along, more teams within my organization will want to use it and more projects will be hosted.

Does that mean every time I create a new project on my site, Jira will generate an editable work flow that I can customize for that project?

If your intent is to just use this workflow with this project and not share the workflow with other projects, then, yes, you can modify the workflow as you need it to be for that project.  :-)
