Current Workfront Approval Workflow:
- User Submits Ticket via Request Queue - Status: New
- Ticket Assigned Out - Status: In Progress
- Ticket Complete - Status: Complete-Pending Approval
- User either: 1) Approves OR 2) Declines Approval - resets status to In Progress
With the Workfront JIRA Integration, our expected Workflow was:
- User Submits Ticket via Request Queue - Workfront Status: New
- Ticket automatically generated in JIRA - Status: TO DO
- Ticket Assigned Out in JIRA- Status: In Progress; Workfront - Status: In Progress
- Ticket Complete - JIRA-Status: Done; Workfront Status: Complete-Pending Approval
- User either:
1) Approves - JIRA-Status: Done; Workfront Status: Complete
2) Declines Approval - JIRA-Status: In Progress; Workfront Status: In Progress
The bolded Step is not working as expected
Expected: 2) Declines Approval - JIRA-Status: In Progress; Workfront Status: In Progress
Actuality: 2) Declines Approval - JIRA-Status: Done; Workfront Status: In Progress
We need the status exchange to be bi-directional so that the denial of an approval workflow would be able to transition and update the status of a JIRA ticket back to the status of "TO DO".
