- Define a new status: Waiting for feedback
- Define a new step: Waiting for feedback
- Create new transitions to and from this new workflow state.
Leveraging JIRA's powerful administration console the new workflow was defined in just a few minutes. Once done, I defined a new workflow scheme and associated to some of my new projects.
It was with some surprise that I realized that the new transition wasn't restricted to developers: it was there for everyone to trigger. Obviously, I'd overlooked something in the configuration so that I checked the permissions and everything seemed to be fine until I realized what was wrong: workflow transitions are protected by conditions. In my case, I required that only the issue assignee could trigger a transition.
Although the workflow was being used, creating a draft workflow was a no brainer. In the draft workflow I added the required condition:
Only the assignee of the issue can execute this transition.
Once done, I published the new workflow. JIRA quickly converted the existing issue to the new workflow and the error was corrected without even bringing the project down.
