How to add/remove option under automation button-->from workflow

Benjamin Zhou

I am using JIRA Cloud. Does anyone can teach me how to add/remove option under automation button-->from workflow. For example, if I don't want to show "change current location", how to do?

I know this from workflow. But when I open this workflow, I didn't see any screen or condition, etc. can make the change.

You can do 2 limitations on those Automations that are Manually Trigged:

You can limit by Work Type or by group/user:

The common Workaround is:

Use a transition on workflow (From any status to it self) add a post function to populate a field and use this field as the Automation Trigger.

Hi @Benjamin Zhou

The options displayed under the Actions button are generated from the workflow transitions that are available from the issue's current status.

If you want to remove "Change Current Location" from that menu, you'll need to modify the workflow rather than the Actions menu itself.

In your screenshot, "Change Current Location" is a self-transition from In Progress back to In Progress. If that transition is no longer needed, you can remove or disable it in the workflow. If it is still required for automation or other processes, you can also restrict who can execute it by adding a Restrict transition rule.

There isn't a separate configuration that lets you hide an individual transition from the Actions menu while keeping it available in the same workflow. The menu simply reflects the transitions that are available to the current user.
