SELECT DISTINCT "Workflow Name" FROM ( SELECT pkey AS "Project Key", workflow AS "Workflow Name", pname AS "Issue Type" FROM ( SELECT p.pkey, wse.workflow, it.pname FROM nodeassociation n, project p, workflowscheme ws, workflowschemeentity wse, issuetype it WHERE p.ID = n.source_node_ID AND n.source_node_entity = 'Project' AND ws.ID = n.SINK_NODE_ID AND wse.scheme = ws.ID AND wse.issuetype = it.id AND n.sink_node_entity = 'WorkflowScheme' GROUP BY wse.workflow, p.pkey, it.id union SELECT p.pkey, wse.workflow, it.pname FROM nodeassociation n, project p, workflowscheme ws, workflowschemeentity wse, issuetype it, configurationcontext cc, optionconfiguration oc WHERE p.ID = n.source_node_ID AND n.source_node_entity = 'Project' AND ws.ID = n.SINK_NODE_ID AND wse.scheme = ws.ID AND wse.issuetype = '0' AND n.sink_node_entity = 'WorkflowScheme' AND oc.fieldconfig = cc.fieldconfigscheme AND it.id = oc.optionid AND p.id = cc.project GROUP BY wse.workflow, p.pkey, it.id) as temp ORDER BY workflow ) AS subquery;
