I am unable to transition issues in my imported Jira project.

[Alexis Evans]

I created a new project and then imported issues using a CSV file I'd exported from another instance. All of the issues were imported correctly. Now, I am trying to transition some of the issues. When I click on any transition button, I get the notification in the top right saying "[issue key] was transitioned" but the status of the issue does not change and nothing is added to the History tab towards the bottom.

These issues have a simplified workflow with To Do, In Progress, and Done as the statuses and all statuses can transition to each status.

I was a little bit confused during the process of mapping fields, but I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything incorrectly.

Does anyone have any ideas for what might be wrong, or if there's something I need to configure?

Hi @Alexis Evans 

If you look at the workflow transitions post-function does they looks like ok or seems weird with xml content for each post-function ?

The post functions look okay.

[Florian Bonniec]

Do you have all expected postfunction in the transition ?

Update change history for an issue and store the issue in the database. for example.

Can you share the postfunction of a transition that is not working ?

[Alexis Evans]

Oh, looks like we have a couple of the post functions that are usually there, but not all of them. We have "add a comment if one is entered during transition" and "re-index an issue" but not "set issue status" or "update change history" or "fire a generic event". That must be the issue, thank you so much!

Any idea why those post functions might not have been there?

[Florian Bonniec]

Not sure but I've already seen it, those are then available to be added manually, no need to re-create the workflow.

[Alexis Evans]

Okay perfect! Yeah, once you said that, I found where to add them in manually. It's just weird that they weren't there in the first place because I haven't seen that happen before. But anyway, all good now, thanks again!

As an update, we've added a Start Work transition and that seems to work, but then none of the other ones change anything. It seems like maybe the transitions from All aren't working?
