Why does the Board allow me to drag issues to any column, despite the workflow?

[Chris Roberts]

I am returning to Jira after a few years away... I have setup a new project and setup a custom Workflow (which I have published).

On the Board I now see columns for each of my new statuses, and I have created a new issue.

However, I appear to now be able to drag and drop that issue from its current column all the way over to "Done" (for example) even though there is no workflow transition setup between the two columns.

In fact, I seem to be able to drag the issue from any column to any other column regardless of how I've setup the workflow.

I'm assuming I should only be able to drag it to columns which represent statuses that have a transition between them?

Update:

I've just noticed that when I'm dragging an issue from one column to another, it's not actually updating the status of the issue... But if I open the issue and use a transition to change the status, it both updates the status and moves the card to a different column.

Try this in the announment banner.

<script type='text/javascript'>
AJS.$(document).ready(function() {
        AJS.$("#description-val").css("color", "red");
   }
);
</script>
