Can I associate a workflow with custom field value?

Pete P_lbwqsx

I have a custom field called "Change Type" with 4 levels as values (Level 1, Level 2, etc.). The values are set through automation based on the input from two other custom fields.

How can I associate a separate workflow to each of the Level values of my custom field?

Change Type

Level 1: Workflow A

Level 2: Workflow B

Level 3: Workflow C

Hi Pete - The quick answer is that you can't. Workflows are exclusively associated with Issue Types. So you would have to change the value of the Issue Type, but that can only be done by a Move if the issue types are associated with different workflows.

@John Funk , thanks I was afraid of that... So I guess I'll have to use one workflow and somehow branch it based on the value of the field?

@John Funk are you aware of any apps that would let me do this "move" to another issue type automatically on a transition?

"Move" is not a trivial change of type, unless the two types have the same configuration. The configuration that matters includes the workflow.

There are some apps that can change issue type, but you have to do a lot of work replicating the migration processes within them, especially when the workflows are different.

I do not think this is the answer to your problem, I think you'll have to go with the branching workflow, controlled by conditions.
