Workflow schemes

Delete default workflow

Resets the default workflow for a workflow scheme. That is, the default workflow is set to Jira's system workflow (the jira workflow).

Note that active workflow schemes cannot be edited. If the workflow scheme is active, set updateDraftIfNeeded to true and a draft workflow scheme is created or updated with the default workflow reset. The draft workflow scheme can be published in Jira.

Permissions required: Administer Jira global permission.

delete/rest/api/3/workflowscheme/{id}/default

Path parameters

idinteger required

The ID of the workflow scheme.

Query parameters

updateDraftIfNeededboolean

Set to true to create or update the draft of a workflow scheme and delete the mapping from the draft, when the workflow scheme cannot be edited. Defaults to false.

Response

Returned if the request is successful.

defaultWorkflowstring

The name of the default workflow for the workflow scheme. The default workflow has All Unassigned Issue Types assigned to it in Jira. If defaultWorkflow is not specified when creating a workflow scheme, it is set to Jira Workflow (jira).

descriptionstring

The description of the workflow scheme.

draftboolean

Whether the workflow scheme is a draft or not.

idinteger

The ID of the workflow scheme.

issueTypeMappingsobject

The issue type to workflow mappings, where each mapping is an issue type ID and workflow name pair. Note that an issue type can only be mapped to one workflow in a workflow scheme.

issueTypesobject

The issue types available in Jira.

lastModifiedstring

The date-time that the draft workflow scheme was last modified. A modification is a change to the issue type-project mappings only. This property does not apply to non-draft workflows.

namestring

The name of the workflow scheme. The name must be unique. The maximum length is 255 characters. Required when creating a workflow scheme.

originalDefaultWorkflowstring

For draft workflow schemes, this property is the name of the default workflow for the original workflow scheme. The default workflow has All Unassigned Issue Types assigned to it in Jira.

originalIssueTypeMappingsobject

For draft workflow schemes, this property is the issue type to workflow mappings for the original workflow scheme, where each mapping is an issue type ID and workflow name pair. Note that an issue type can only be mapped to one workflow in a workflow scheme.

selfstring uri
updateDraftIfNeededboolean

Whether to create or update a draft workflow scheme when updating an active workflow scheme. An active workflow scheme is a workflow scheme that is used by at least one project. The following examples show how this property works:

  • Update an active workflow scheme with updateDraftIfNeeded set to true: If a draft workflow scheme exists, it is updated. Otherwise, a draft workflow scheme is created.
  • Update an active workflow scheme with updateDraftIfNeeded set to false: An error is returned, as active workflow schemes cannot be updated.
  • Update an inactive workflow scheme with updateDraftIfNeeded set to true: The workflow scheme is updated, as inactive workflow schemes do not require drafts to update.

Defaults to false.
