If an '&' is entered into a workflow transition description, JIRA breaks with an error:
com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowException: com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidWorkflowDescriptorException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference. com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowException: com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidWorkflowDescriptorException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference. at com.atlassian.jira.workflow.OSWorkflowManager.createWorkflow(OSWorkflowManager.java:264) at com.atlassian.jira.workflow.OSWorkflowManager.saveWorkflow(OSWorkflowManager.java:270) at com.atlassian.jira.workflow.ConfigurableJiraWorkflow.store(ConfigurableJiraWorkflow.java:69) at com.atlassian.jira.web.action.admin.workflow.AddWorkflowTransition.doExecute(AddWorkflowTransition.java:107) at webwork.action.ActionSupport.execute(ActionSupport.java:153) at com.atlassian.jira.action.JiraActionSupport.execute(JiraActionSupport.java:58) at webwork.dispatcher.GenericDispatcher.executeAction(GenericDispatcher.java:132) at com.atlassian.jira.web.dispatcher.JiraServletDispatcher.service(JiraServletDispatcher.java:185) ...
(stacktrace from 3.6.2).
However, the description is stored in the workflow, and isn't properly escaped (&). This means that when the workflow XML is requested, it is invalid. Firefox and IE will complain if asked to render it:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: http://localhost:8080/secure/admin/workflows/ViewWorkflowXml.jspa?workflowName=Copy+of+jira Line Number 287, Column 46: <meta name="jira.description">foo & bar</meta> ---------------------------------------------^
