Is it possible to add approvers to a Jira Software Kanban Board Workflow

Question

We have a Jira Software project Kanban Board workflow where we would like to see if it is possible to add approvers at different status' like we can in Jira Service Manager.

Example - Before status "TESTING QA" can move to "QA ACCEPTED" it must be approved in the system

Hi @John Scott

You may also try - the default conditions on the workflow:

* Create a new project role called APPROVER 
* Create a status APPROVAL and add it in your workflow.
* Put a condition on the outgoing transition from APPROVAL status --> "User is in project Role" then restricts the transition to with the Project role "APPROVER".

Hope this helps!

Hi @John Scott ,

You may use the plugin:  JSU plugin

Conditional Approval Process (Steps to configure the workflow with approver): https://beecom-products.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSU/pages/25680584/Conditional+Approval+Process

Hope this will help.
