Scenario

If a workflow has an integrity problem, assigning it to a workflow scheme to be used by a project will make this a dead-end:

the corrupted workflow does not work properly because of itself e.g. missing workflow buttons

there's no way to switch to a different scheme or assigning a different workflow to replace the corrupted one because of publishing/associating failure:

Steps to reproduce

export a working workflow to XML e.g. Classic Default Workflow

open the XML file and look for an entry like this:

<step id="1" name="Open">
      <meta name="jira.status.id">1</meta>

remove the meta value, so it becomes:

<step id="1" name="Open">
      <meta name="jira.status.id"></meta>

save the XML file and import it into JIRA with a unique name
open the imported workflow and notice that step Open has NO linked Status:
simply assign it to a workflow scheme used by a project, so that both the workflow and workflow scheme are active
create a new issue in the project that will use this corrupted workflow
attempt to switch the project's workflow scheme or assign a new workflow to the scheme and publish it
-> 500 Error Page

Suggestion

Since customers might rely on XML to prepare and import workflows, which are susceptible to errors, there should be a validation step when adding a workflow to a workflow scheme that should be able to detect whether the to-be-added workflow has an integrity problem or not, so that a dead-end like described above won't happen.

Note

Currently when adding a corrupted workflow like described above, this kind of diagram is seen, which is not clear whether it has an integrity problem in it:

Workaround

From the UI, make a copy of the corrupted workflow and edit it properly
Take an XML backup of JIRA if necessary
Shut down JIRA
Take an SQL backup of the database if necessary
Run this SQL query to identify the relationship between project, workflow, and issue type (replace DUMMY with the respective project key of the project with the corrupted workflow):
```
SELECT 
    p.pname as 'Project Name',
    p.pkey as 'Project Key',
    wse.id as 'Entity ID',
    wse.scheme as 'Workflow Scheme ID',
    ws.name as 'Workflow Scheme Name',
    wse.workflow as 'Workflow Name',
    wse.issuetype as 'Issue Type'
FROM
    workflowschemeentity wse inner join workflowscheme ws on wse.scheme = ws.id
    inner join nodeassociation na on ws.id = na.sink_node_id
    inner join project p on p.id = na.source_node_id
WHERE
    p.pkey = 'DUMMY' and na.sink_node_entity = 'WorkflowScheme';
```
Sample result:

Project Name Project Key Entity ID Workflow Scheme ID Workflow Scheme Name Workflow Name Issue Type

Dummy Project DUMMY 10900 10700 Dummy Workflow Scheme Dummy Workflow 0

In this example, Dummy Workflow is the corrupted workflow. The workaround is to associate the copied/edited workflow of Dummy Workflow to Dummy Workflow Scheme via an SQL query. Take note of the Entity ID above, which is 10900 in this example.
There may be more rows returned, in case the project uses multiple workflows for multiple issue types, so just take note of the Entity ID of the corrupted workflow in your case.
Let's say the copied/edited workflow (in step 1) is named 'Edited Dummy Workflow', run this SQL query to make sure it exists in the database:
```
SELECT id, workflowname FROM jiraworkflows WHERE workflowname = 'Edited Dummy Workflow';
```
If it exists, then run this SQL query to associate it to Dummy Workflow Scheme as discussed above:
```
UPDATE workflowschemeentity SET workflow = 'Edited Dummy Workflow' WHERE id = 10900;
```
replace 10900 with the Entity ID identified in your case
Restart JIRA
project DUMMY should be using Edited Dummy Workflow instead of Dummy Workflow now, which is possible to be edited if necessary.
