Change status of Story Independantly from Tasks

unknown

I have Stories - I have created a story workflow with the following status's Inprogress>>CodeReview>>QA>>Done

I have created a subTask workflow with the following >>Inprogress>>TaskDone

Now the idea is when all tasks are TaskDone we can move the story to CodeReview and then to QA and not the tasks. Is this possible? Like it is in TFS?

I need to be able to set the status of the story and not have it linked to the tasks?

When i try to add the column it says it is automatically calculated and can't be edited, well how is this setup and defined. This is really a decision breaker for us weather we as a corporation use JIRA or TFS.

Thanks

Gareth

Ok, most of that sounds right, you absolutely can have stories independent of tasks. As you've said, create two workflows, and use the workflow scheme to associate them with the different issue types. Issue types are independent of each other, so once you've got that setup, you will have independent flows for the two types.

JIRA Software does have a minor addendum - when you close the last sub-task of a story, it can automatically move the story to "done" as well, but other than that, if you want issue types to interact with each other, you have to code for it!

However, I'm stuck on two things:

You say you've done the workflow stuff, so I don't understand what is not working
You say "when I try to add the column"? What column, and where are you adding it?

Hey Nic

I have setup two workflows one for the subtasks and one for the stories. I have just started my first sprint and I am ablt to drag subtasks into inprgress and TaskDone as defined in my workflow.

But Stories cant be dragged. So I went to edit the story and the "status column is not there" so i used the "Where is my Field Option" searched or "status" and the message says "The 'Status' field is not present on the form you are viewing" So how do I update the status of the story to be in CodeReview for Instance?

I think there might be two separate parts to this question.

First, there's the board behaviour - I'd like to skip that though, as I want to get the other stuff right, and make sure I fully understand what you've got set up.

So, the workflows. You have two workflows, as per your question. I'm going to assume they are names something like Story-wf and Subtask-wf. Can you tell me what the *workflow scheme* for the project says now?

I'm expecting/hoping for something like

default: Story-wf
sub-tasks: Subtask-wf

Is that correct? If it's different, could you show us?

Hi Nic

Yes Exactly I have two workflows one for subtasks and one for Stories. See attachment
