Replicate Jira workflow

[Mickey Loeb]

This issue is so simple that I am reluctant to ask, but I am stuck and need advice. 

I created an order fulfillment workflow to track the steps for each order.  My intention was to replicate the workflow template for each new order and combine all order workflows into a project where I can see the progress of all workflows.  I like Jira because of how it integrates documents and narrative descriptions into the workflow.

I was previously an IT project manager and so I can visualize how this would look using a project management system.   I tried to copy and deploy the workflow template but could not figure out how to do so and integrate it into a larger project or epic.  

I think my issue is simple and common so there are many of you that can offer assistance.  I appreciate your advice.

Best regards,

Mickey Loeb, owner

You can change the contents of the group based on status, if you have certain plugins in the Workflow's Post Function (there are many that do this) that evaluate a custom field depending on what your criteria is. Once the Post Function changes the group/user custom field's value on the status transition, you can then setup the Assignable User Permission to read off a Group/User Custom Field Value instead. This would make the permission fungible based on how you setup the field's manipulation in the Workflow Post Function (and thus, the status).

The list of assignees is determined by the permission scheme.  Look in there for "assignable user", the rule on that line is likely to be something like "Role: Developer".  Either change your project membership (so that your specific user group is in that role and no-one else is), or come up with another rule for it.

Hi Nic, Many thanks for your reply, can I set this value depending on status of the issue? ie if the JIRA issue as a status of 'client UAT' then only users with a role of client UAT can be assigned?

No, the assignee list is permission based, not status.
