×What do I have to do to change a Workflow to a NOT Simplify Workflow?
If I add or Remove status it remains as a simplify worflow (JIRA SERVER 7.12.3)
I'm board administrator & project Adminitrator. The project was created with the Scrum Software Development.
Hey Celeste,
You will have to create a new workflow and replace your current workflow with the new one.
This guide should be able to help you out: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver072/working-with-workflows-828787890.html

I Tyler! I can't create a new workflow, I want to transform my existing wkf to a not simplified one. The documentation says that if I change it once, It should became a Jira Workflow, The Project Administration In Jira Server PDF (Atlassian University - pag.45) says:"Once you edit a simplified workflow adding statuses and transitions, it is no longer a simplified workflow and becomes a custom workflow."But it doesnt work like that as far as I can test it. I added & removed statuses and It keeps saying that it's a simplified workflows. That's why I ask. Let me know yours ideas!

Hey Celeste,
From what I understand it should act like any other workflow.
Even if you change the current workflow the name of the workflow won't change from "Simplified".
Do you just want to be able to add/edit your workflow, or do you want to rename it?

Hi Tyler. I just change the workflow (not the name). Thanks!

This issue is a pet peave of mine. The name should change or at least prompt you to change when you modify a "Simplified Workflow." Therefore, yes, I would like to know how to change the name once the "Simplified Workflow" has been modified.

Edit the workflow, you'll be able to change the name. You can do it as you copy it too.
