Define workflow-buttons order

[T I]

Hi,

I have a workflow with three steps: Evaluate, Close and Reopen.

A plugin of mine uses a web-item that creates an other workflow-button: Snooze.

I want to define the order of these buttons.

What I want (Evaluate should be first, Snooze second):

Therefore I added the property "opsbar-sequence" to the transitions.

Evaluate 20 | Close 60 | Reopen 60

The web-item, that creates Snooze, got the attribute "weight" 40.

But this is what I get:

It doesn't matter how I set the weight of Snooze. I can't achieve the order I want. If I set the weight of Snooze to 1-10 it lands on the first place. If I set it to 11 or higher it lands on the last place.

Any idea how to achieve the order I want?

We wrote a plugin to do this and believe it's worth it's price if you have a large installation. The plugin provides a drag and drop gui and allows reordering of workflow transitions within a step (reordering workflow transition steps is the next feature in our roadmap for the plugin).

You can find more out/install it/etc from the Marketplace page

We're currently offering a promotion for folks interested in our CCC Last Comment plugin where we include a free license to Transition Reorder X (what we call it) - had nearly $10K in sales of last comment since the promo went live and...nobody's bothered to download TRX. Strange when you can't even give it away...

Note: our plugin only works with the Server version of JIRA, it doesn't work with OnDemand. It does work with common transitions.

TI - you name doesn't resolve when I try to @ T I you so you'll probably never see this but I just noticed that you'd used the same value for the second and third button per your OP:

Evaluate 20 | Close 60 | Reopen 60

Close and Reopen have the same opsbar sequence value. That could easily make the opsbar sorter loose it's head and refuse to sort anything, treating all of the existing statuses as if they had a opsbar value of 'null' - in which case your setting the new button opsbar to a value would work as you describe, it appearing at the start or at the end of the list.

@Treethawat Thanawachiramate - Thanks for the link to the you tube video - we have a plugin (CCC Transition Reorder X) to sort the options but I don't think people understand how it works.....time to get into the screen-recording business again.

Hi @Tomasz,

why dont you try with 10,20,30

It doesn't matter if it's 10,20,30 or 20,40,60.

I can reproduce the problem. It seems the "opsbar-sequence"-Property is neither used for rendering in JIRA core nor the one you set it the step-properties.

If you use a Plugin, you could try to reorder with jQuery.

I try this one.
