Can i choose what status button to show?

[Arassen Pillay Samoo]

from a status there are 4 outcomes(outcome1, outcome2, outcome3, and outcome4). currently showing outcome2 and outcome4 based one creation time. is there a way i can chose outcome3 and outcome4 to be displayed as button and the other show shows as items in the dropdown?

in my case, i would like to show 

- development finished and backlogging.

Hi @Arassen Pillay Samoo,

yes, you can. You will need to use the opsbar-sequence - property to do this and order the transitions, so that the 3 and 4 comes before 1 and 2.

Please take a look at https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/advanced-workflow-configuration-802592741.html , there is a part named "To change the order of transition buttons:" 

[Arassen Pillay Samoo]

this seems promising. 

[Arassen Pillay Samoo]

many thanks, this worked.

Please tell us mroe details about what you are trying to achieve.

The buttons are transitions not statuses. Your admin can add statuses/transitions to a workflow. Contact your admin with a clearer requirement.

Adding to @Bastian Stehmann you can also have a look into modifying jira-config.properties file to show all/more number of transition buttons on the screen instead of dropdown under workflow button.

#
# This is dfault group size for the View Issue Operations Bar group size (before adding a dropdown)
#
#ops.bar.group.size = 2
#
# This is the size of the actions group in the Operations Bar
#
#ops.bar.group.size.opsbar-operations = 2
#
# This is the size of the workflow group in the Operations Bar
#
ops.bar.group.size.opsbar-transitions = 4

@Suhas P I think, he is in the cloud, so modifying that file won't be possible or is there a cloud solution for that?

[Arassen Pillay Samoo]

yes Jira-Cloud.

You can ask Atlassian to change it for your system (They will do it as a one-off, so pick your number carefully)

[Suhas P]

Ohh, I didn't notice its Cloud. But yes, Atlassian can make exceptions in such cases. You just need to contact them and justify the need. And yes, pick the number carefully :)
