Summary

A Warning is observed in the transition rule to Update an issue field of a workflow in a Team-managed project.

Environment

Any cloud sites with Team-managed projects. 

Diagnosis

1. Create a Custom field in the Team-managed project of the required type. 
2. Add 'Update an issue field' rule to any of the transitions to update the created field. 
3. Update the created rule. 
   

A warning is observed once the new rule is saved against the transition. 

Cause

This warning is observed when we are updating a field or option that isn't present in all the issue types in the project that share the same workflow.

• This may lead to unexpected behaviour when performing that transition in those issue types.

Solution

You can follow either of the below workarounds to mitigate the warning.

1. Add the field to the other issue types.
   Ensure to add the field you are updating in the rule to all the issue types that share the same workflow. 
   
   Or
2. Split the workflow by saving it to the issue types that have that field.
