Why can't i edit the workflow?

Question

Hey,

I am getting the following error when i try to make a new 'transition' from one status to another.

You are editing a draft workflow. The step ''On hold'' has no outgoing transitions in the Active workflow, so you cannot add any outgoing transitions in the Draft workflow.

I was able to edit without any issus before.

Please help.

Hi, the problem is that the Workflow designer does not allow to create new transitions in an active workflow and that has a step that never had any transition.

In order to fix this you have to create a copy of the workflow scheme and a copy of your workflow, then make the changes on your workflow and then assign that new workflow scheme to your project.

Usually when I do this I name my new workflow scheme with the same name but for example 'V2' so I don't get messed up with other workflows.
