In the previous post, we saw “How to Activate/Associate Jira Workflow with project?“. Now we will see how to create a workflow and add statues, transition in Jira.





How to create a workflow?

To create a workflow we need Jira admin permission first. IF we have admin permission then only we can go for workflow creation.

Please follow the below steps:

  • Go to Setting (Jira Admin option) and click on it.
  • Select Issues as shown below screenshot:

How to Add Statues in workflow?

  • Since we have already created inactive workflow now we need to add Statues
  • By default inactive workflow will be in edit mode.
  • IF you are opening any inactive workflow then you need to click on Edit as shown in below screen:

  • Now we are going to add statues in an inactive mode in the Diagram view
  • Click on “Add Status” and provide “Status name”
  • Here we are going to add the “In progress” status and click on “Add” as shown in below screen:

In Progress status has been added successfully as shown in below screen.

  • In the same way, we can add as many statuses as per our business requirement
  • Without Transition, the workflow will not complete.

How to Add Transitions in workflow?

  • Since we have created the “In Progress” workflow but still there is no transition for it.
  • So we will create transitions from Open to In progress
  • Click on any dots from Open Status and then Drag and drop to In progress status as shown in the below screen

  • Now we need to provide transitions name as shown in below screen
