Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
Summary
While Atlassian provides an official method for importing workflows directly from the Atlassian Marketplace into Jira Cloud, there may be situations where you need more flexibility or control over your workflow configuration. In this article, we'll explore an alternative approach that allows you to modify workflows outside of the Jira Cloud environment and then import them back.
Solution
Setup a JIRA Server application installation as per Migrating from Jira Cloud to Server.
