Do I need to change the issue type scheme if I have changed the workflow associated to a project?

Question

Good evening,

I want to change a workflow associated to a project. It asks if I want to migrate all issues. If the issue scheme doesnt match the workflow status and transitions, will there be issues?

Do I need to change the issue workflow scheme to be similar to thenew workflow?

Hello @Cory Schulz ,

The process you're describing are the steps that occur when adding a new workflow to an existing workflow scheme, described in"Configuring workflow schemes" , as the migrating the issues step takes place after adding a new workflow to the Scheme to move the issue types set for the new workflow so they will have a status to attach to once the new workflow is added to the scheme.

The Migration step will take care of reallocating the issues from the status they were in, within the old workflow to the new statuses in the new workflow associated to the scheme with the statuses you determine in the wizard.

Regards,
Earl
