Is it possible to have 1:N transitions, from one status to many statuses?

Antonio Koronios

I have a software project and i keep in different columns each needed version. For each column, i have a different DONE-v.x.x status. I would like to have one status "DONE" and upon the decision of a team member then to be able to change the status from "DONE" to the statuses "v.1" or "v.2"

Yes, that is possible, you would just have multiple transitions to the specific Done status or make it so the destination status allow all statuses to transition to this one.

But I would question why you need multiple Done statuses, will you filter on these later on? Or would using the Resolution field work instead?

I would like to have a group of accomplished Issues having status = DONE, for each version of my software project. Additionaly the DONE issues of version1 to be in a column "v1", for version2 in col "v2" and so on. Also in these columns (for the versions) the status of the issues should be "DONE".

Reverting to your answer, I tried to create 1:N transitions from a status to another status but with no success. I saw that I can create only one transition from a status such is "In Progress" to another sucj is "Done". Also, if i leave a state "Done Version1" without transitions is returning an error.

EG:

COL1 "Backlog": Status = Backlog
COL2 "TODO": Status = In Progress
COL3 "DOING": Status = In Progress
COL4 "DONE": Status = Done
- Transition ONLY from DONE to the below COLUMNS
- COL5 "DONE_ver1": Status = Done Ver1
- COL6 "DONE_ver2": Status = Done Ver2
- etc...

Any suggestions?

Is there any idea or suggestion?

Hi @Antonio Koronios, you can't add transitions to an active workflow. You will need to make these changes to an inactive workflow first, and then you can associate the workflow with your project. See this guide here.

also from a board perspective, this could affect sprint closure since the board will only consider the last right side column as the completed issue even if another column contains a done category status, you would need to consider this for this setup.

you can rely on the Releases tab of your project to see each of the version-related issues progress.

Finally I did the following solution-workarround that resolve the primary need

What was the need

To have multiple columns having assigned a different DONE status covering the need for multiple versions of my software project.

COL1 "Backlog": Status = Backlog
COL2 "TODO": Status = In Progress
COL3 "DOING": Status = In Progress
COL4 "DONE": Status = Done
- Transition ONLY from DONE to the below COLUMNS
- COL5 "DONE_ver1": Status = Done Ver1
- COL6 "DONE_ver2": Status = Done Ver2
- etc...

Solution-workarround

COL1 "Backlog": Status = Backlog
COL2 "TODO": Status = In Progress
COL3 "DOING": Status = In Progress
COL4 "DONE": Status = Done Ver x.x

I kept only one active column assigned to the current "Done Ver x.x" status. I made not visible all previous "Done Ver x.x" and I deleted the related columns.

If I want to revert to a previously completed issue (DONE Ver x.x) then through the Issues View I can retrieve them. At the same time are always available if i want to link a new-added issue
