Edit a Workflow
You can modify an existing workflow to adapt it to a specific use case. You can upload and customize rules from the Custom Workflow Repository, modify your own workflows, or edit the default workflows that are available in your YouTrack instance.
?>When you apply changes to default workflows, your changes are preserved even when a new version of the default workflow is included in an upgrade of the product. You can revert your changes and restore the default definition of the workflow at any time. For more information, see Restore Default Workflows.
Updates to workflow rules are applied immediately in all projects to which they are attached when the changes are saved in the workflow editor.
To edit a workflow:
From the Project-related Settings section of the Administration menu, select Workflows.
- Locate the workflow that you want to modify and click its name in the list.
The workflow opens in the Workflows page.
The New Module dialog opens in the sidebar.
Here, you can either add a module to extend the workflow, or modify an existing module. To open an existing module in the editor, click the name of the module in the list.
Modify the rule or script to support your use case.
- When done, click the Save button.
Updates to the workflow rules are applied immediately in all projects to which they are attached.
