Problem
When assigning issue types to a workflow name in a given JIRA project, the selected Issue Type does not get added or Jira associates a different custom issue type to the workflow.
Diagnosis
Here are the steps to identifying the issue:
- Go to a project > project administration > workflows
- Add Workflow > Add Existing > Select Workflow
- Add an Issue Type
OR
- If there is more than 1 workflow, click Assign under Issue Types
- Add an Issue Type
The steps should result in the wrong Issue Type being added to a given workflow.
Cause
This problem is caused by some third-party Add-ons, like Zephyr, Calendar for JIRA or Agile Filters for Jira plugin
Workaround
#1
#2
- Disable the mentioned Add-ons
- Associate the Issue Type to the Workflow
- Enable back the Add-ons
Resolution
Zephyr will address the issue in a next release of the plugin.
The bug SUP-35620 has been opened with Teamlead from Calendar for JIRA.
You can use the Workflow Scheme edit screen from the Administration menu instead of using the Project > Workflows screen.
