Problem

Symptom 1:

There are no transitions available in an issue, however there are other transitions in the workflow. Other issues from the same project can be transitioned.

Symptom 2:

There are no conditions in the workflow transition, the workflow is configured correctly, the user has the "Transition Issues" permission, reindexing the system and performing the integrity checker still does not cause the transition to show up.

Cause

For Symptom 1:

The workflow entry of the issue has an incorrect state.

For Symptom 2:

There are workflow properties that exists in the Transition Properties. (Navigate to the missing transition's settings and click on View Properties in the UI)


Workaround

For Cause 1:

Run the Integrity Checker (type "g"+"g" and search for integrity checker) in your JIRA to fix any broken relationships in your workflow.

Alternatively you may follow the steps from this page to manually find and fix workflow-related data issues directly in the database:

For Cause 2:

Delete the workflow properties and the transition should be appearing.
