How to change the association between steps? It prevents me from changing workflow

maayan sheiba

Hey all,

Been trying to edit my workflow, so added 2 more steps, with "all" transitions.

However I get the following response:

"You cannot change the association between step '45' and status 'Review'."

Step 45 is actually 2 steps before "review", anyone knows what is causing this error?

Thank you,

Could you give us the steps you took to get to this error message?

Hi, thanks for the reply!

Sure:

Project setting--> workflow-->Edit and then I added 2 new steps: Planning and "on hold".

That's only part of what you did, could you continue with the rest of the steps you took to get the error?

Sure,

Basically I went to publish dreft, then I marked that I want to save a copy and pressed published. Then I got the error.

I tried also without saving a copy and still got the same answer.

I solved the bug, as I would call it, by deleting the status, which in your case is 'Review', and then just adding it again.

Hope this will help someone else atleast.

I ran into a problem like this just now, and I solved by doing the following:

Get the workflow exactly as you want it in the editor.
Export the workflow.
Leave the editor.
Import the workflow export you just took, name it something slightly different.
Migrate all issues to the new workflow as appropriate.

I hope this helps!

Oh hell no

I experienced a version of this but where the step number was no longer in the workflow which initially puzzled me (and prompted the search from which I found this page) because I was both adding AND deleting statuses, and then I followed Henning_Jira Ninja's step of removing the status NAMED in the error (NOT the one which the step number referred to as that had already gone) and readded. I believe in my case the issue related to having added statuses with "Allow all other statuses to transition into this one" ticked before deleting the statuses I no longer required, hence Jira was remembering the "All" transition as including the now missing statuses, so lesson learnt for the future I will do any step deletion before step addition. Adding in case benefits anyone else but realise this may not cover the usecases of others! Thanks

Thank you for the information! I had similar problem and your hint solved it.

Thanks!!! I needed to remove the status, save the workflow, then add the status back in.

Defiantly a bug.

I can not see a "bug" here, just some restrictions that stop people breaking things.
