Is it possible to add approval to a workflow?

I have a jira core account and i need a workflow for the finance team for procurement of items and we need different levels of approval. Please how can this be achieved using jira core and not service desk?

Hi Boluwatife,

Here is a way on how you can achive this.

On project the workflow, find the transition where you would like only the approver to change the status. (The transition is the link between the statuses)
Click on the transition and add a condition. Set it to allow only the approver to perform this transition. Probably you will be asked to choose a group and not a single user so you will have to create a group on JIRA and name it for example 'approvers'
Make sure to publish the workflow before testing the changes

Cheers,
Jason

Hello @Boluwatife Onafujabi

You can achieve this in JIRA core, as I have done something similar multiple times. Basically, if you have workflow steps A and B then the issue can only go from A to B if someone click on the "approval" button which is a transition in the workflow. And when someone clicks on it the name of the user who clicked on it along with the timestamp can be updated in the custom fields present on the issue screen.

You would need a plugin like JSU for this purpose to use the post-function

"Update Any Issue Field (JSU)"

Thank you @Tarun Sapra but it is a jira cloud account and the plugin is for a server account

Hello @Jason Galea so i tried creating my own workflow and added the conditions to it but it happens i can't find my board anymore. Any idea why? Because i could see it initially board fail.PNG

Hi @Boluwatife Onafujabi,

From the screenshot above, click settings and then you should find the workflow under 'Summary'

Edit the workflow from there and publish.
