    Description

      When there are multiple workflows in Jira with similar names (ie: dev workflow, copy of dev workflow, dev workflow 1.0, etc) it uses post functions from these workflows. The problem feels similar to https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-29393 and I think they may actually be the same issue.

      The errors in the logs refer to class not found from a missing plugin, even though no functions from the plugin are present in the workflow. Copies or similarly named inactive workflows do contain references to the classes that are not available, though and this seems to cause the class not found errors. When I deleted the similarly names workflows, the errors stopped.
