How to apply only certain transitions of a SINGLE workflow depending on the project

Question

Hi Community,

I have a number of projects that use similar, but "slightly" different workflows.

Is it possible to use a single workflow, and only allow certain transitions to be available, depending on the project it's applied to?

I'm trying to cut down on using multiple workflows.
Please refer to image for an example of what I mean.

And, thank you in advance 👍

Hi @Kevin Dickson ,

I wouldn't worry about it too much. The new workflow editor is still in its baby shoes and has some maturing to do before you could potentially think about killing the trusty old workflow editor.

Conditions based on field values are really common, so I highly doubt that they will discontinue the old one if this is not supported there.

Just a quick update on this solution:

It works perfectly ...if you use the old workflow editor.
It is NOT available in the new workflow editor.

So my question is to Atlassian:

What happens when the old workflow editor is discontinued?
Will this functionality (to be able to add conditions to transitions) be available in the new workflow editor before the old one is discontinued?

If not there are going to be a lot of grey hairs.

Hi Kevin,

Happy to help!

Generally, if there are only 2 major types of workflows, I would rather advise you to use 2 separate workflows and switch projects between the two options depending on the need.

Keep in mind that when you need to update the workflow to add other projects to the conditions, it might take a while before the changes are applied since it will update all projects.
