Re-ordering workflow actions in JIRA
On a JIRA workflow, the available actions that appear in the View Issue page are normally ordered in the sequence those transitions were created. This works fine most of the time, but in some cases, we will want to change the order in which it appears on the issue screen!
To achieve this logical ordering of workflow actions on the View Issue page, JIRA provides us with a workflow property named opsbar-sequence. Let us see how we modify the ordering using this property instead of tampering with the workflow.
How to do it...
Follow these steps:
Log in as a JIRA Administrator
Navigate to Administration | Global Settings | Workflows.
Create a draft of the workflow, if it is active. Navigate to the transition which needs to be modified.
Click on the View properties of this transition link.
Enter opsbar-sequence into the Property Key field.
Enter the sequence value under the Property Value field. This value should be relative to the values entered in the other transitions...
