      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding bug report.

      If you use Workflow Designer to create a new workflow, in "Diagram" mode you can select the "Create" transition and add a screen.

      Screens for creating issues are actually set in the 'Screen Scheme', in the 'Create' operation, not in the workflow. This allows the user to set 2 screens for creating issues, and the one in the workflow's transition is simply ignored.

      If this is performed, it blocks the screen deletion and shows an empty values (with a bullet point on it) on "Workflows" when checking all the screens:

      Steps to Reproduce

      • Go to workflows and choose "Add Workflow"
      • In Diagram mode, click on the Create transition
      • Click Edit on the right and add a screen to the transition
        • note that this is not an option in text mode

      It does not seem to actually apply the screen in testing - when attempting to create an issue I am not seeing the associated transition screen.

      Workaround

      1. There is no workaround to remove the associated screen from designer view; you need to create a new workflow or copy an existing that does not have this screen associated.
      2. If you want to set a screen to the create operation, please do so in the respected Screen Scheme. Screen Schemes can be set to specific issue types within a project in Issue Type Screen Schemes, like workflows.
