PUBLISH WORKFLOW - PROBLEM TO PUBLISH

Paolo Palermo

Hi Support,

when i modify a Workflow JIRA, after tipying PUBLISH the pop-up still in progress without loading wheel (disappear after 1 or 2 seconds).

 

See print in attachment, could you help me ?

The way to have effective Publish is to Close the page and relogin it.

When you edit an Active Workflow, an edit draft is created for it. 
The draft is what you publish and this draft with new changes then overwrites the previous workflow.

So the purpose of the draft is at anytime you can just Discard it and the workflow would remain intact without the new edits. 

When you select the Publish option. you are trigger that popup, which basically asks if you want to keep a backup of the old workflow (the workflow before the changes or edits in it)
This is because if the workflow doesn't workflow, you'd have an old backup and can restore to that. 

If you're making minor changes, then you just simply publish the workflow without the backup, and it will overwrite the existing workflow, and the new changes would be applied.
