Hello, I'm attempting to publish a workflow draft, where I added an extra transition from DONE to an earlier status so that tasks can be moved back a step if need be.
When I try to publish the draft and overwrite the active workflow I recieve the following error:
"You are editing a draft workflow. The step 'DONE' has no outgoing transitions in the active workflow, so you cannot add any outgoing transitions in the Draft workflow"
I interpret this as "You can't publish this draft because it is different from the original", which is somewhat baffling, since it defeats the entire point of editing something.
Can someone help me understand why I'm unable to do this, and how I can publish the draft witout having to make a copy and reassociate the workflow with the project (if that's even an option)?
there are scenarios where you can’t edit and publish the workflow directly. What you need to do is make a copy of the workflow, edit it then go back to workflows and add the new workflow to your list in that project. Then associate the new workflow with the issue types you desire.
There's a long-standing bug on the inability to add a transition to statuses that don’t have an outgoing transition already. I don’t recall the ticket on this but it is discussed in several threads in the Community.

Thank you very much. Though this does confirm my fears that I'll have to go "the long way around". Fingers crossed nothing breaks when I reassociate the workflow. Thanks again! I do hope this will get fixed soon.

This is really impractical. Basically anytime when we make a change to workflow we would have to create a copy. Will this bug be resolved? Because then we create multiple numbers of inactive workflows...

Damn I got the same error just know, it never occured before.
What's the point of having an edit button if we can not edit the workflow without having to:
copy it with a different name → edit it → then edit the workflow scheme.
Not being able to remove statuses from active workflows on Cloud was already a joke but this is insane, not being able to add transitions to workflows!!
Like the only editable thing now is what, renaming the transition only?
