Can I show all available workflow steps in an issue?

Adam Grace March 11, 2012

Hi all

I want to be able to have a workflow that have be used by both my design team and dev team.

My design team need to be able to send tickets to be approved, and the dev team need to be able to mark a ticket as either Ready to Build or Integration Needed. Currently the Development specific workflow steps are hidden away in the "workflow" dropdown. I want to be able to either add the "Request Approval" option in there as well or have them all visiable - I just don't know how to.

Please see the attached image for an example of my situation.

Cheers,

Adam

Similarly you can change the number that show up. Default is 2, we changed ours to 4 and that covered most cases. In jira-config.properties (on 4.4 or later at least) - reference is http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Workflow#ConfiguringWorkflow-Changingthenumberoftransitionbuttons:

#
# This is dfault group size for the View Issue Operations Bar group size (before adding a dropdown)
#
#ops.bar.group.size = 2
#
# This is the size of the actions group in the Operations Bar
#
#ops.bar.group.size.opsbar-operations = 2
#
# This is the size of the workflow group in the Operations Bar
#
ops.bar.group.size.opsbar-transitions = 4

for some reason that didn't worked out, even thought we've done all by the book (or at least according to this: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/How+to+edit+the+jira-config.properties+file). any idea why? (jira 6.1.2) thanks!!

Not a complete answer, but you can order your transistions so that the most important ones comes up as buttons. Refer section "Changing the order of transition buttons and 'workflow' menu items"
" in http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Workflow#ConfiguringWorkflow-workflowtransitions

In each Workflow Step, set the property = ops.bar.group.size.opsbar-transitions and property value = 4 (or whatever number)
