One Workflow - Two Projects Configuration

[Hamdy Atakora]

Hello,

Let me start by saying all the help provided is very much appreciated.

So here is my issue. I have two projects A and B and one workflow. I wanted to be able to create a request in one Project A and be able to trigger the creation of clone request in Project B. I was able to link the same workflow to both project and with the script Runner Add on, i was able to trigger the creation of the clone request in Project B when the request in Project A passes a certain transition.

So far i am good. Now i am trying to set the clone issue to pickup and only display the request from the transition which is was created from. 

So let' say my workflow start from Opened => In Progress => Send Request  => Approved => Resolved 

The issue is cloned in Project B when the issue in Project A is in Status = Send Request

I would like the cloned Request in Project B to only display the remaining piece of the workflow, in this case Approved => Resolved 

And i would still like both Project to be linked so that if the issue in Project B is in Approved status, the issue in Project A is transitioned accordingly automatically.

I have been trying different ways with the script runner to get this but i am not sure if it is possible to automate this. Any suggestions or input is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Looks like you've got most of the way :-)

A cloned issue will be in the same status in a workflow as its it had been created manually.

If you want to move to further through the workflow automatically you will have to trigger the transitions yourself.

I would say options are do this in the cloning process you already have or add some automation in the target workflow

Hello, Thank you very much for your reply. I read about that but i really have no idea how to go about adding the automation in the target workflow.I checked out the automation feature in Jira for Projects but it didn't have many options.
