Hi All,

We all know jira software always has a default workflow, please look at the following picture:

Hi @13287561406 

yes, you can change your default workflow with the custom one like this:

  • create a new workflow scheme
  • add your workflow to the workflow scheme
  • assign the new workflow scheme to your project

This was, of course, a very short description. You can find detailed information here:

 if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask here.

Hi @13287561406 ,

 

I would suggest to create your own workflow based on your project's requirement and associate it to the project.

Hey @13287561406 ,

as said before, you cannot make changes to it. If you need to make changes to this specific workflow:

  • Make a copy
  • make your changes
  • use the new copy in the workflow schemes instead of the original Jira default workflow.

Best, Max

Indeed, that workflow is simply not editable (without unsupported hacking)

Hi @13287561406  - I would strongly suggest you not do that. You should copy it and make and wanted to changes to the new workflow.

I am sorry, but that is not something I recommend so I am not able to provide further advice on how to change it. :-(
