How can I specify workflow only for epic issue types?

Question

I want to create a workflow espically for epic issue types, and whenever I'm changing the workflow of the epic, it changes also the other issue types workflows although I saved it espically for epic only.
What can I do?

Hi @אביטל ווליק

For Team-managed, these instructions should work: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/New-Feature-Different-Workflows-per-Issue-Type-for-Team-Managed/ba-p/1808647

I just tested this and it works for me!

Hi it's not a Company managed project. Is this an issue?

Hi @אביטל ווליק

Is this a Company-managed Project?

If yes, you need to ensure there are at least two separate Workflows - one for the Epic, and one for the other Issue Types.

You can then assign different Workflows per Issue Type using a Workflow Scheme, see how to do this on this help page: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-workflow-schemes/

Let us know if this works for you!
