You're kidding with this, right? The use case is in the JIRA documentation, and it doesn't work? And you've known about it for SIX YEARS? So how do I get my 100 or so custom workflow states, in 5 different workflows, into production without entering it all by hand?

This issue now has a resolution as announced at the Atlassian Summit earlier this year. Search for "workflow sharing" in the Atlassian marketplace.

No. There's no workaround - you have to have the screens in place before you import, or you have to edit the xml to match.

I think it's one of those issues that Atlassian would dearly like to fix, but simply have higher priorities. Without second-guessing their internal priorities, and just looking at what the customers want, there are 150 requests with more votes.

Thank you for letting me know there's no workaround. The screens ARE in place, but I'm afraid I don't know how to convince JIRA that they're actually there, so if you can share pointers on that it would be arppreciated. I'll look into the "edit the XML" option (which would qualify as a workaround in my book).

I'm sure Atlassian has higher priorities - accurate documentation should defiintely be one of them!!

Matt Doar said it plainly at the last AtlasCamp (forgive my memory not being precise, correct me if I'm wrong) when they announced umpteen more API's, he pointed out "and none for Admin".

How do people move gajillion-step workflows from test to prod? Manually?

Feature-focus can be hard to live with. #lifeofaplayah

Votes are just focus groups-in-a-can. A lot of times people don't 1) know what they want 2) vote on feature areas that they're using because they've been discouraged and don't bother with other areas of functionality.

There's a couple really successful companies that have pointed out that they don't use focus groups for this very reason.

Although this is an old issue, for anyone who faces this Error in 2020, another solution is to export the XML workflow and import it again with a different name. Then replace the previous one with the new workflow and after that, delete the old workflow.
