Summary

After creating projects with a shared workflow, notifications from incorrect projects are being sent to Slack channels.

Environment

Jira with Slack integration configured

Diagnosis

The Slack Integration on the projects which are sending notifications incorrectly is not set up.

Cause

In the shared workflow, there is a post-function configured to Send notifications to Slack Channel, causing notifications for any projects using that workflow to be sent to the Slack channel.

Solution

Remove the post-function from the workflow, and configure any customizations to that Slack integration directly in the original project Slack Integration settings.
