Apply new workflow without affecting other JIRA boards

Kyle_qjeyak

I went in and made a copy of a workflow that is shared across many workflow schemes in our Jira instance to create a new workflow. After copying the workflow I began making changes to the workflow and assigned it to a different scheme.

Those changes worked within my project and everything was running as expected. Over the past few days it seems like Jira has been populating out the new statuses that I created for my new ticket workflow to other unrelated projects. I have looked into finding the issue that I might have caused through a rogue linking somewhere but failed to find any.

Has anyone else had an issue similar to this and know how to fix it? It looks as though it is populating the new statuses that I added in the copied workflow to the older ones.

Hi Kyle,

• What workflow statuses did you change?

I have seen issues when you try to change a default status where it will change throughout the instance no matter which workflow you do this on as it is tied to the status id in the database.  Here is an example:

1. Here is the workflow I copied from a default Workflow:
   • 
2. Here is the change from In Progress to WasinProgress:
   • 
3. Here is a completely different workflow where the status has changed:
   • 

In order to create statuses for the Workflow exclusively you would need to create new Statuses for that workflow per Define New Status or Steps in JIRA Workflow.

Cheers,
