Dears,

I accidantly change the "User story|" status to Done, which should be In progress. I tried to move it back, but I couldn't.

Try to add transition from "Done" to "In progress", but every time when I click edit workflow, it changes the |"Active" workflow into draft, and notifies that "You cannot perform this operation on a draft workflow".

Please advise how to change done status into progress.

Thanks

Hello,

You need to copy this workflow, add the required transition and add the copied workflow to the project workflow scheme instead of the old one. There are limitation on editing draft workflows and you came across one of the limitations.

Hi How do you copy the workflow? What is the required transition and how do you add the copied workflow to the workflow?

I ran into this issue when trying to add a new transition from a Done status to a new Done status.  However, when I switched to the new editor, it allowed me to save the workflow changes.
