When users execute a workflow transition, we have an option to display an intermediate workflow screen. This is a very useful way of collecting some additional information from the user. For example, the default JIRA workflow will display a screen for users to select the Resolution value when the issue is resolved.
We need to have a workflow to configure, such as the Simple Workflow that was created in the previous recipe. We also need to have screens to display; JIRA's out-of-the-box Workflow Screen and Result Issue Screen will suffice, but if you have created your own screens, they can also be used.
Perform the following steps to add a screen to a workflow transition:
- Select the workflow to update, such as our Simple Workflow.
- Click on the Edit button if the workflow is active. This will create a draft workflow for us to work on.
- Select the Start Progress transition, and click on the Edit link from the panel on the right-hand side.
- Select the Workflow screen from the Screen drop-down menu, and click on Save.
- Repeat STEP 3 and STEP 4 to add Resolve Issue Screen to the Close transition.
If we are working with a draft workflow, we must click on the Publish Draft button to apply our changes to the live workflow.
