How to assign a workflow to a project

Christophe Vasseur

Hi,

Found other threads about this... no solution except answers with probably old screens...
I've created a workflow, assigned a name like what I saw in different videos.

Now when I want to assign it to my project, there's no option in the project parameters: no 'workflow' section. No option in the project board. Just 'manage workflow' on top right... but this option is only to edit the existing workflow. So probably I need to redo everything. Incredible that nobody cares at atlassian to provide any answer to the community. 

If anyone has the solution, he will be welcome!

Hi @Christophe Vasseur 

The options you are seeing is based on the fact that the project you are using is a team managed project.

To add a workflow to a workflow scheme and use it in a project or a specific issue type in a project, then the project type you need to use is a company managed project.

In a team managed project you can only edit hte workflow for each separate issue type used in the project.

In a company managed project you can have a single workflow used for all issue types in the project and you can use the workflow in multiple projects.

Be aware only a Jira admin can maintain the workflow, unless the workflow is only used in a single company managed project.
