Action Properties

After you define the states in a workflow, you must define the actions that are associated with each state. For example, for the Dev-Ready state in the default bug workflow, a developer can take the Fixed action, the Cannot Fix action, and so on.

Each action has a set of properties associated with it.

General properties

The properties of an action are varied and cover the following areas:

Button label that appears on the Issue Details page.
Description of the action that appears on the History tab.
New state that results from this action.
Reason code.
Appearance and usage of the action dialog.
Groups permitted to take this action.
Sort order of this action.

Action of State dialog box

Action properties are set on the Edit Action of State dialog box. (Issues > Configuration > Workflows).
