Hi,

I've ben using Jira (the on premise version) for 5 years. Now I'm using the "online" version and I'm just lost with the workflow system. "Inactive" is active, you can add workflows to workflows and link statuses to statuses to another layer of statuses... And still I have less options than the server version !

Why is it so cryptic ?

ok this is worst that what I was thinking : the "copy workflow" is made by reference, not by value : meaning you can delete the original draft when deleting a copy. this is really terrible... why would you do that ???

I am not seeing what you are.  How our you  "adding workflows to workflows" and "linking status to status"?  Neither Cloud nor Server Jiras are offerning me that!
