Workflow schemes

Classic update workflow scheme

Updates a company-manged project workflow scheme, including the name, default workflow, issue type to project mappings, and more. If the workflow scheme is active (that is, being used by at least one project), then a draft workflow scheme is created or updated instead, provided that updateDraftIfNeeded is set to true.

Permissions required: Administer Jira global permission.

put/rest/api/3/workflowscheme/{id}

Path parameters

idinteger required

The ID of the workflow scheme. Find this ID by editing the desired workflow scheme in Jira. The ID is shown in the URL as schemeId. For example, schemeId=10301.

Request body

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.

Response

Returned if the request is successful.

defaultWorkflowstring
