How to have separate status workflow for different Issue types

How to have separate status workflow for different Issue types & both issue types status to be connected together as flow:

Issue Types (EPIC & Story) should have separate status workflow. Some of the status in both issue types to be connected.

Example:

EPIC (Status Workflow): Created --> Functional review --> To Be Developed --> In Development --> To Be Tested --> Successfully Tested

User Story (Status Workflow): Created --> To Be Developed --> In Development --> To Be Reviewed --> Development Completed

Hello @Surresh Rao ,

Create your two separate workflows. Then, create a workflow scheme and assign each workflow to the appropriate issue type. Finally, assign the workflow scheme to your project.

can both workflows be linked back & forth as per status flow between EPIC & Story?

Below is the flow between epic <--> Story i am trying to achieve.

Couple of automated actions (When all Story's moved to Development completed EPIC status should auto update to To be Tested) also i am looking for apart from different flows for different issue types, flow link between both issue types.

Depending on what you want to achieve, you could use plugins such as Scriptrunner (script oriented, groovy language), Automation , JSU or JMWE (UI based configuration).

Thank you Antonie for your quick response.

When i am opening up any issue type & change status workflow (Ex: EPIC) it is reflecting in all other issue types (Story, Bug, Task).

Does that man i don't have sufficient access to create separate workflows for each issue type & link them in workflow scheme for required project flow? I have Project Admin access & created new project under Enterprise version.

Please refer to screen shot:

If you only have Project admin rights, you will not be able to create a new workflow, only to edit the one in your project to a small extent.
In that case, you should ask your jira admin to create the workflows and link them to the relevant issue types.

Also, he might already have some plug-ins installed to create the automations.
