JIRA Studio allows users to action issues via commit commands. These issue actions include workflow transitions. The default JIRA workflow transitions are mapped to the following commit commands with equivalent names:

  • Start Progress — #start
  • Stop Progress — #stop
  • Close Issue — #close
  • Resolve Issue — #resolve
  • Re-open Issue — #reopen

On this page:

If you use a custom workflow, you might want to add commit commands for custom workflow transitions and edit the commit commands for existing workflow transitions.

(info) Note, changes to commit commands are independent of the workflow itself. Hence, you do not need to create a workflow when editing the commit commands for an active workflow.

Adding a new commit command

To add a new commit command:

  1. Log in as an administrator, click the menu labelled with your user name in the JIRA Studio header, and select 'Administration'. The administration console will display with the 'General' tab active.
  2. Click the 'Source' tab. The Source administration console will display.
  3. Click the 'Commit Commands' option in the left menu. The 'Commit Notification Command Mappings' page will display.
  4. Click the 'Add workflow command mapping' link. The 'Edit workflow command mapping details' page will display.
  5. Enter the following details:
    • Command — the text that is entered into the commit message to call this command. When you use the command in commit messages, enter a preceding hash symbol (#) before the command.
    • Transition — the workflow transition that this command triggers
    • System Transition — system transitions are built-in transitions from the default workflow. These cannot be added or removed from command mappings.
