Hello Petros.

From what I understand, you are trying to add a new workflow to your project. You seem to be doing that directly from your project settings. You can only add an existing workflow from what you already created to an issue type. For exemple, in your picture, if you select one of your WF, you could attach it to one of your issue type in your project. You can't ADD a new workflow from nothingness here.

Let's imagine you want to add a new issue type with a new workflow. You have to go to your administration settings (wheel on the top right hand corner, then Issues).

Here you will have to go to the Workflow tab and you can create a new WF. You can find here some documentation to help you do it.

Tell me if you need more help or if it helped you. :)

Hi Flavien,

 

Thanks for the prompt reply. However I still cannot see how to associate more than 1 scheme with a project.

 

In my case I have a project that I need to build a scrum board for development purposes and a kanban board. 

I want each board to use specific issues and have a different hierarchy/stages.

For example I want the kanban board to look like above while the Scrum board to use different schema.

Can you provide some links and guidance on the above.

 

Many thanks,

Petros

Hi. You cannot associate more than one scheme with the project. But in a scheme you can associate many workflows with all the issue types linked to your project.

I suggest you read the link below concerning :

Issue types

If you want to create two projects with different issue types/hierarchy, I suggest you create one issue type scheme/ one workflows scheme per project.

Example for one project :

I want to have epic and stories. So i create an issue type scheme gathering epic and stories named Issue type scheme A. I then will create one workflow for Epics named Workflow epics and one workflow for Stories named Story Workflow. Finally, I will create a Workflow Scheme describing the schemes used for the issue types of the project.

Here is a post where I gave some examples also.
