Transition screen removed when project admin edits a transition

Details

    Description

      Problem

      The relevant transition screen gets removed when a project admin without Jira Administrator global permission attempts to edit a transition.

      Environment

      Jira

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new project (I used Scrum software development template)
      2. Modify one of the transitions in the workflow to add a transition screen
      3. Create a new regular user
      4. Grant the 'Administer Projects' permission to this regular user
      5. Log in as this regular user and navigate to (Project > Project settings > Workflows > relevant workflow > Edit)
      6. Edit the relevant transition where the screen was added
        • Notice that the 'Screen' field is not able to be edited. This is expected since project admins are not supposed to be able to select/update screens
      7. Click 'Save'

      Expected Results

      1. Changes are saved and the transition still has a screen configured

      Actual Results

      1. Changes are saved but the transition screen is removed

      Workaround

      No known workaround

      Notes

      • Only happens when the 'regular' user does not have 'Jira Administrators' global permission
      • Project admins are not capable of selecting/updating transition screens so by right shouldn't be removing them as well: Managing project permissions

        The project administrator can create, update, or delete transitions. But they can't select or update a screen used by the transition nor edit and view a transition's properties, conditions, validators, or post-functions.

      • This ultimately renders project admin to be unable to make any changes to transition with screens
