How adding a workflow at an existing project?

Nicolas Discry March 26, 2025

I am sorry for this simple question but I can't find where I can associate my project (with existing tickets) to a workflow that I have created.

The tutos on the web (including this one) tell me to go in the settings of my project but I do not have the same view than in the video (mine seems more basic).

Thanks for your help

Nicolas

Hi @Nicolas Discry and Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Don't worry, it's a good question!

It looks like you're trying to edit a workflow in a team-managed project (its settings look like this):

In this case, follow this guide: Create and edit multiple workflows in team-managed projects

If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to ask me, and I'll do my best to help.

Hi Sergei. Indead. Does it mean I choose a wrong type of project when I have created my project? It is possible to attribute another type of project ?

For a team-managed project, I cant import a existing workflow then?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi @Nicolas Discry again!

Does this mean I chose the wrong project type when creating my project?

Not necessarily—I can't say for sure, as it depends on your needs. You might find this helpful: (Learn more about the difference between company-managed and team-managed projects.)

It is possible to attribute another type of project?

I didn’t fully understand your question. In Jira Cloud, there are two project types: team-managed and company-managed. If you need to migrate, here’s a guide: Migrate between team-managed and company-managed projects.

For a team-managed project, I can't import an existing workflow?

Unfortunately, no. 😞 You can track this feature request here: JRACLOUD-83240.

Hi @Nicolas Discry 

Welcome to the community,Once the workflow is created then goto project settings and click on summary there you can find project workflow scheme there at the top you can see add workflow in dropdown you can select add existing then select the workflow which you want to associate for a particular issuetype 

if you are associating the modified workflow then it will ask mapping to the current status or else if it is new workflow you can directly associate.

Note:Only Jira Administrator/Org Admin can change the workflow

 

Hope this helps
