Workflow status order

Scott McDonald_qykakt

Hello -

In JIRA Server, the workflow status under Issues --> Issue Attributes --> Statuses seem to be in a random order (perhaps order of operation), but there isn't a good way to alphabetize these without moving them one by one.

It also looks like it's configured this way to assist in the JQL so when a user does an ORDERBY at the end of their statement, it will return the values in this order.

Is there a database script to get me the results I'm looking for or a change coming in the Server products?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

You can set the order of the transitions by setting the opsbar-sequence. You should consider using values like 0, 10, 20... in order to make it easier to make changes to the order later.

Hi @Mikael Sandberg ,

Perhaps Im entering the info incorrectly, but when I go to to view the order of buttons on the view issue screen or viewing issues returned in JQL, they are not in the order I specified via opsbar-sequence. I'm using:

To change the order of transition buttons:

To change the order of transition buttons, including additional transitions in the Workflow menu, add the property key opsbar-sequence to each workflow transitions that you wish to reorder. Each opsbar-sequence property key requires a property value that defines the order of the transition action on issue views.

Go to the transition's properties, as described in transitions above.
Type opsbar-sequence into the Property Key field, under 'Add New Property'.
Type a value In the Property Value field, The value must be a positive integer (starting at '0'); it defines the order of the transition buttons on issue views.
Consider using a sequence of opsbar-sequence property values like 10, 20, 30... to allow new transitions to be easily added later.
Click Add.

Adding the opsbar-sequence property to a workflow transition does not change the order of these transitions in the workflow in Text edit mode. The addition of this property only affects the order of transitions on the View issue page.

I'm using quantities of ten with the property value.

For instance, in the status Open, I have property key = opsbar-sequence and property value = 10, next status = 20, etc. I've even added the value of 30 to the 4th status and 40 to the 3rd status, to verify the order.

@Scott McDonald the opsbar-sequence only applies to how the transitions/statuses are ordered under the Workflow buttons, it will not have any affect to filters or views. Your filters and views are ordered based on the ORDER BY.

@Mikael Sandberg , you mean when I go into an issue, I should see the workflow buttons in the order I have via my opsbar-sequence definition, correct?
