Jira Work Management managing Boards with different issue type workflows

Question

Problem:  When managing a Board for a Jira Work Management project (company managed) that has different workflows for the Epic and Task issue types, the Board defaults to the simplified Epic workflow.  How do I change the rendering of the Board to the Tasks statuses/columns?

Hi @Mandy Sobel

Please find the answer to your query here

FYI

It only works with simplified version of Kanban board in shape you know from Jira Software. You do not have such freedom to configure it.

Not sure if we we have feature request raised for this, please check with Atlassian by raising a support ticket

Thanks,

Hi Mandy,

As of right now, JWM boards will not work with two different workflows in the Workflow scheme. Hopefully, they will provide a fix for this one day, but I don't know where it is on their timeline.

You could create a second board and use a board filter that includes the JWM project and achieve what you want. You just wan't be able to link the project to the Location for the board.
