How to change order transitions appear in the board's column?

[Kevin Labrum]

I have two transitions that are going to the same status. For example, Transition A and Transition B both go to the status "Internal Review". Each transition has specific post functions, validators, etc. that will happen.

When I move the issue on the Kanban board to that particular status the column splits into two parts indicating each transition. Transition B is on the top section of the column and Transition A is on the bottom. Transition A is the one that 90% of the issues will be going through.

How can I make it so Transition A is on the top and Transition B is on the bottom?

Hi @Kevin Labrum

Not sure on why your design that has two transitions to the same step. However I tried to replicate your scenario and it appears to be associated to the workflow transition ID.

For Eg: If my transition A has the ID 31 and my transition B has the ID 41, in my board column transition A will be the top section followed by B.

I assume in your case Transition B was created first and hence sits at top on your column. If you want to change the order you have to edit the transition IDs.

One way to go about it is to delete both of your transitions and create them again on the order in which you want them to come up. (WF property (opsbar-sequence) did not change the order in board column)

Else you can change the ID by exporting the WF as xml, edit it and import it back as mentioned here

I ended up deleting both transitions and re-created them in the order I wanted and that worked.

Thanks a bunch!

Also found that if the transition is global it will appear at the top.

@Lisa Förstberg Makes sense. Thank you for updating the thread.
