Workflow Extensions

 

 

Quickly and easily change the order of transitions

In workflow editing, both when editing diagrams and text, you have access to quickly sorting transitions without having to set each transition sequentially.

In the new view you will see a list of all the transitions that appear in the workflow, just move (up/down) the transitions using drag and drop on the below icon.

Now press the "Update" button, “Publish” workflow and that's it, all the transitions will be saved and automatically arranged in the Issue view according to the order you selected.

Transition sorting is from top to bottom, this is reflected in the transition position from left to right in the Issue view.
