easier way to change order of post functions than arrow down/up?

Hello, I can re-order post functions in my workflow with the arrow up and down.  (at the rights of the post function). But is there another way to achieve the same result? I have around 40 post functions in 1 workflow step and re-ordering with the arrow is a hell of a job. Thank you for the help.

Some of my colleagues did a "ship it" that produced a prototype of an add-on that could help you with this.  (We're working with people who do things like 240 post-functions, which is way too large, but still needs organising)

I'm going to dig it up and point them at you to see if it might help.

Export the workflow as xml, edit the xml anyway you like and import it back:)

40 postfunctions sound a bit too much. I would consider making it simpler.

It's 4 groups of 10. If fieldA = 1 then fieldB = A; If fieldA =2 then fieldB= B. That kind of work and than 4 times for other fields.

I group post functions into branches, each branch is a transition. If fieldA = 1, then transition A. In Transition A: function 1,2,3.

Hi @Sandra Meessen,

as far as I know there's now built-in Jira functionality that facilitates your requirement.

You might take a look at Admin Toolbox for Jira (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214246/admin-toolbox-for-jira) since it provides your requested functionality (beyond many others).

Cheers,
Thorsten

Hello,

It is not possible out of the box.

There is a ticket about it:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-37483

You can find a plugin in the MarketPlace. Also there is a plugin in the comments for the ticket above.
