Hello, 

I have added a status of "In Progress" category. I have added one transition from To DO to deferred state but unable to add back a transition from deferred state to To Do.

error is displayed "You cannot perform this operation on a draft workflow. Please help.

Hi Aamar, 

Is the workflow associated with a project already?

You will need to copy the workflow, make your changes, then associate this new workflow with the workflow scheme.

Editing an active workflow

An active workflow is a workflow that is currently being used by one or more projects.

When you edit an active workflow, JIRA first creates a 'draft' of it.

  • The 'draft' of your active workflow allows you to make modifications to the workflow with the benefit of real-time validations.
  • Once you have finished modifying your draft workflow, you can publish your draft, during which you have the option of saving your original workflow as an inactive backup.
