      Workaround

      For Jira administrator:

      • If you need to edit the generated workflow, create your own workflow instead of editing or copying the generated workflow

      For system administrator:

      1. Stop JIRA
      2. Make sure to backup data just in case
      3. Fix the descriptor
        • For instance: 
          $ W_ID="10200" # Change this value as the affected workflow ID
$ DB_NAME="__JIRA_DATABASE_NAME__"
$ psql ... -d ${DB_NAME} -c "Copy (select descriptor from jiraworkflows where id = ${W_ID}) To STDOUT;" > descriptor_${W_ID}.xml
# Edit the xml file (Remove '\n' and the redundant line breaks)
$ psql ... -c "update jiraworkflows set descriptor = '$(cat descriptor_${W_ID}.xml)' where id = ${W_ID}" ${DB_NAME}
      4. Start JIRA
      5. Verify the affected workflow is fixed (Discard the draft workflow if exists)
