Allow to edit an active workflow scheme

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

Hi All,

Good news! We have addressed the original improvement request provided in the description of this issue, in JIRA 5.2. Users now have the ability to edit a workflow scheme on a project - a draft is created, and the migration is handled through the normal migration process. Functionality that has been provided:

• Add existing workflows
• Remove workflows from scheme
• Reassign issue types between workflows in the scheme
• Publish draft
• Discard draft

You can read all about the new improvements in the latest JIRA EAP release notes.

This functionality works if you have a 1:1 mapping between a project and a workflow scheme. I understand that this does not fulfil the functionality discussed in JRA-5254, which is also mentioned in the comments on this issue. We understand this and are actively addressing JRA-5254 - unfortunately it is not a part of JIRA 5.2.

Going forward, I will be resolving this issue when JIRA 5.2 is released in the coming weeks, and leaving JRA-5254 open until that is fully addressed and workflow schemes can be edited when they are associated with more than one project.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me directly.

Thanks for your understanding,
