How to link an existing Project to a "Project Template"

[Humberto Gomes]

Hi,

I'm creating new projects based in one template, in order to have only one place to change.

Case:

I need to reuse an existim project, and this was not created based the template, so they are not connected. Chaging the template will not change this one.

It is possible to link the old jira project, created before the template to the current template?

You can have two transitions, one when the field has a certain value and one when the field does not have that value. The first one will have a transition screen and the seocnd one will not have the screen.

Value field condition in JIRA Suite Utilities can be used for this.

Jobin doesn't explicitly say "Use a condition on the workflow" here, in case you were wondering. A "condition" stops the user being offered a transition. You'd want to put conditions on both transitions - one saying "allow if field is filled in" and the other saying "allow if field is empty". The users will only ever see one transition.

Interesting approach. There is still the problem that you need two different transition names because they need to be workflow unique. Any solution for this?

Use the same words, but put extra spaces in them if you have more than one word in a name.  Or add punctuation

I'm curious if a fix for this was put in since this post - we'd like to conditionally do a lot of different things, some of which are on Create which makes it tougher to do the suggested answer for this one...
