Help Wanted: Kanplan Workflow with two entry points - Backlog & TODO

[Mick Pollard]

We desire to use a Kanplan workflow.
We have planned and unplanned work.

• Planned work to be created in the Jira backlog and scheduled accordingly.
• Unplanned work to be created in the TO DO column

Is it possible to create another "Start" item in this workflow so that when a user clicks "Create new issue" in either the Kanban board or the backlog screen and choose Backlog or TO DO respectively ?

Thanks in advanced !

I have worked it out. I was close.

In the workflow, I had add a rule to validate a field.
If I removed it then things worked as desired.

What i learnt is that you need to show a screen, then validate a field for it to work.

Now our users can create issues in either the backlog or the todo column.

Hello, You can add new status in workflow and user should be able to select the status while creating the issue. If the user miss to select the status then it will go to default status.
