 Description  « Hide
Transitions for each workflow step are shown in the order they have been created in the workflow editor.

We have a very large workflow with many transitions per step. It would be nice if the transitions could be sorted so that the could be presented in a more "sequential" order.

Of course i could create the workflow in the rigth order, byt the workflow is created as a copy of the JIRA workflow and therefore our transitions are shown after the Resolve and Close transitions wich looks a little bit strange.

Even if i created the workflow from scratch, it would not be possible to edit the order later.

As a workaround - can you edit the XML to change the order?

I haven't tried this - but I thought that if it was bugging you lots you could have a go

Yes, i've solved the problem by editing the XML. So it's doable, but a lille bit unflexibla

Lars - 01/Feb/05 12:18 PM
...unflexibla??? ...unflexible of course.

Good to hear Lars - we shall look at improving the UI for the workflow transitions with the aim of making it more flexible!

We'd also be interesting in seeing the UI developed to cater for this. We have a workflow with 28 steps with an average of 3 transitions on each, the most being 6 transitions on a couple.

Ditto. I'm adding a complicated new workflow and we feel the order of the transitions is important for the user. Having control over this would be a huge help.
