Not able to see workflow

Question

Hi, I am new to JIRA. I have created a new company managed Kanban project in JIRA.

According to docs, If I go to workflow option under project settings, I should be able to see diagram for default workflow. I am not seeing anything there and no option to associate etc.

I have gone through workflow scheme option under issues setting also, It also did not help.

Kindly help.

Thanks.

@Walter Buggenhout Hello Walter. I had the same question come up.

I am site admin so Ican go to project settings and see the flow diagram.

It seems, however, that a standard user, if they go there and click on the diagram, they do not see the diagram.

The user referenced that in DC it was possible but not cloud.

I am wondering if this is related to the "Extended project administration" permission in DC (General Availability (GA) of the Extended Project Administrator (EPA) feature in Cloud) - whether it is enabled or not.

Hi @omiatbitbucket and welcome to the Community!

If your project is indeed company managed, if you navigate to project settings > workflows, you should indeed see the list of workflows in your project with a tiny link text / diagram next to it.

Clicking the appropriate link should display the diagram.

If you want to make changes to the workflow, you can do so by clicking the pencil (edit) icon to the right. It just fell off my screenshot, but it should be there.

If you want to apply a really different workflow to issue types in your project, you can create a new workflow under Jira Admin > Issues > Workflows. The workflow scheme is a concept used to link a workflow with a project, and more specifically with specific issue types in a project.

I would recommend you read up on these items in the documentation first:

* Working with issue workflows 
* Configure workflow schemes

Hope this helps!
