Can I have different screens w/i my project if the project shares a workflow with other projects?

[Karri Adkins]

The project I am working with in JIRA must share the baseline common workflow across all projects for my company, however, am I also bound to those screens as well or is there a way to specify a new screen theme for my project specifically that will not impact the workflow and screens used by the other projects?

You can logically entangle them, accidentally.  The most obvious way to do this is to have a workflow validator that checks a value is filled in a field.  If your new screen scheme does not include that field, the user can't enter it and hence can't progress through the workflow.

But that's probably not going to happen often.

No. A workflow is comprised of statuses and screens related to the issue type.

Hey Karri,

Yes, you can change the screens associated with your issues without impacting the workflow.

You may need to be a JIRA administrator to make changes, but this guide should help:

Thanks, but not sure I was clear.

User case:

Project X > uses X workflow > X screen for X workflow transition

Project B > uses X workflow > B screen for X workflow transition

Same workflow, same issue types, just want diff screens in the same step.  I do not see a way to place a second screen on a workflow transition without copying and supplying a diff named workflow in order to apply a diff screen.

You need to give them a different workflow (you can only do that by having different issue types)
