I have a company managed Jira project and when creating an issue, I would like to be able to set the status to "Backlog" or "Open".
I am aware that this can be achieved by setting "Allow all statuses to transition to this one" on one of those statuses and have the Create transition point to other. However this creates the problem of all other statuses being able to transition to the all one and I don't want this.
I thought it might be possible to set a Condition on the All transition to prevent issues in other statuses from using it, however it seems that any condition that I set on that transition prevents it from appearing in the create issue status list, regardless of what that condition is. Here is a screenshot of the relevant part of my workflow:
With this condition set on the All transition:
Note: this is just a dummy condition to show the effect of a condition on the create issue screen.
This allows me to transition the status of an existing issue:
But does not add Backlog to the status list of the create issue screen:
Deleting that condition does add Backlog to the status list of the create issue screen:
I feel like this must be a bug but perhaps is as designed? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
