Separate workflow on the same project. (Bugs flow should be different)

unknown

Hi everyone!

I have some serious questions here.

I am trying to add another workflow for the Bug issue only.

But I got some problems:

When I was editing the copy of the main workflow the specific status (for the bugs issues) renewed the status for all issue types.

And I don't get why it is so.

Luckily it is my test project and nothing critical happened. 

Kindly have a look on the screen:

Here is my general workflow, for all types of the issues

The next screen is what I am trying to do for the Bugs issue types.

Here is not active draft for my future Bug workflow:

I've deleted some statuses and renamed some for the Bug specifically.

Here is the problem:

But all these new statuses reflect on my "general" flow. (on the screen "general" flow = "renew" title).

-------------------

Why do I choose the workflow way but not the scheme option? I don't know ^_^

Here is the video, and the way to create the flow depending on the issue type is represented by working via workflow managing.

Hello @[deleted]

I'm not sure if I fully understand your questions, but I will try to address what I think you have asked.

Status values are defined at a global level (for Company Managed project, and used in Workflows that are defined at a global level). You can see the list here:

https://yourURL/secure/admin/ViewStatuses.jspa

If on that page you renamed a Status, it would affect all workflows where that status was used.

The same is true if you rename a Status while editing a workflow. That changes the name globally. You cannot rename a status and have that affect only one workflow.

If you want different Statuses in a workflow you can add a brand new status to the workflow:

This dialog allows you to select from the full list of existing statuses, or to create a brand new status.

 

Does that address your question?
