Workflow Statuses

Michael Gaskin December 26, 2018

Hi.  I've created several statuses... Pending, Cancel, Info Need and Resolved.  Is there a way to tell JIRA that I want certain statuses in the top bar instead of the workflow dropdown?  Thanks...

Hello Michael,

Thank you for raising this question.

Unfortunately, you can not add more than two transitions to be displayed out of the workflow drop-down in the issue view, however, you can decide which transitions you want to be displayed there.

To do this, you will use the opsbar-sequence property in the transitions of your workflow. Then, add any ascending value (10, 20, 30, etc) to define which transition should be displayed first in the issue view.

The two transitions with the lower numbers (10, 20) will be displayed out of the drop-down, while the others will be ordered under the drop-down.

To have more details on how you can use it, please check the documentation below:

That's not quite true.  On server you can edit the jira-config.xml file and give it a larger (or smaller) number than 2.  It is of course, global, affecting all projects and issue types the same - you can't have 2 for one project and 6 for another for example.

On Cloud, you can raise a support request to get it changed.  Once generally.  Atlassian aren't going to change it on your whims, it's a one-off.
