Can I use different workflows for story and sub task

Question

I want to track the progress of a story and it's sub tasks in a Kanban board. I created swim lanes where I have added story and subtask.

When I am closing all the subtask the story is closing on its' own.

Subtask need to show up in the Columns on Kanban board: To Do, In Progress, In Review, Dev Done. At this point I want to close all the subtasks. But I want the Story to stay open and follow the below columns:

Story need to show up in the Columns on Kanban board: To Do, In Progress, In Review, QA Ready, In Testing, UAT, Done - at this point I want to close my story.

Can we have two different workflows in Kanban board for the above approach

Hi @Nova ,

You can partially but they will share the board and columns.

Essentially, you will have these columns in your Kanban board as a merge between the two workflows:

To do, In Progress, In review, Dev, QA Ready, In Testing , UAT, Done.

This will work with both workflows. This is same also with different issue types as well.

you can certainly have separate workflows. however, if your story is auto-closing once sub-tasks are done then this is not caused by default. you may have some automation rule or workflow post function doing this.
