One Workflow - Two Projects Configuration

Question

Hello,

Let me start by saying all the help provided is very much appreciated.

So here is my issue. I have two projects A and B and one workflow. I wanted to be able to create a request in one Project A and be able to trigger the creation of clone request in Project B. I was able to link the same workflow to both project and with the script Runner Add on, i was able to trigger the creation of the clone request in Project B when the request in Project A passes a certain transition.

So far i am good. Now i am trying to set the clone issue to pickup and only display the request from the transition which is was created from.

So let' say my workflow start from Opened => In Progress => Send Request  => Approved => Resolved

The issue is cloned in Project B when the issue in Project A is in Status = Send Request

I would like the cloned Request in Project B to only display the remaining piece of the workflow, in this case Approved => Resolved

And i would still like both Project to be linked so that if the issue in Project B is in Approved status, the issue in Project A is transitioned accordingly automatically.

I have been trying different ways with the script runner to get this but i am not sure if it is possible to automate this. Any suggestions or input is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello, Thank you very much for your reply. I read about that but i really have no idea how to go about adding the automation in the target workflow.I checked out the automation feature in Jira for Projects but it didn't have many options.

Looks like you've got most of the way :-)

A cloned issue will be in the same status in a workflow as its it had been created manually.

If you want to move to further through the workflow automatically you will have to trigger the transitions yourself.

I would say options are do this in the cloning process you already have or add some automation in the target workflow
