Can workflow transition trigger other workflow?

Mario_bak1c6

Hi there,

 

I am trying to implement a change management process, and I'm facing following challenge. In the process there are steps 14 - Inform release and deployment manager and 15 - Review change. Between these steps there is a trigger to a separate process - Release and Deployment Process. In practice it means, that after step 14 is performed and before step 15 can be performed, the entire Release and Deployment Process must be performed.

 

I was wondering how can it be implemented in Jira? I found "Create A linked Issue Workflow Post-Function", but as far as I can see it only creates separate issue, but does not restrict Step 15 from performing, before this linked issue is completed. Has anyone implemented similar logic in their workflows and can advise?

 

Many thanks

Do you already have something partially configured for this, or are you starting from scratch?

How are the 15 steps currently tracked for an issue? Do you have each one as a Status for the issue? If so, then you would need to add a Condition to the Workflow Transitions into the Status for step 15 to prevent the issue from transitioning to step 15 until the condition is met.

How is the work in the Release and Deployment Process tracked? Is that tracked as a separate issue that is linked to the original issue?

Do you have any third party apps installed on your instance that extend the workflow functionality?

What version of Jira Server are you using?
