Description

Hey,

Currently it seems the statuses and workflows are system wide settings.

It would be good to have the flexibility to create multiple status sets along with their accompanying workflows. Then assign a set of statuses+workflows to their respective projects. This can be in addition to an already defined system wide setting that can be overridden if necessary.

This is in the event a team working on a particular project has statuses and workflow needs that are different from the rest of the organization or team members of other projects.

I haven't seen a way to accomplish this in the current version. If its already available can someone please tell me how to do so.

Thanks,

Clyde

Is it possible to plan this for version 0.8? Is it even feasible at this point? Is it too much of an architecture change?

The lack of this feature is the only thing that's preventing my company from taking a serious look at Redmine.

I use a very crude homemade "fix/patch" to work around this. I create different statuses and workflows per project/tracker. It ruins some of the nice summary features with some 90 different statuses (eventually i might be able to filter that as well).

I prefix workflow-name and status-name with some identifier. I have added a filter-field when creating/editing workflows to avoid the huge matrix otherwise loaded/viewed.

I would prefer not to show my changes since i'm still a novice in rails and my patches are all but rubyish (but i am learning). Default status has another crude fix needed so that users start with a status valid for that workflow.

It's dirty but working for my users at this point in time.I REALLY vote +1 for a good solution to this feature.

Go ahead and post your patch. It might help someone else and others could improve on it to make it more rubyish.

#5 Updated by Clyde Goffe almost 4 years ago

I agree with Eric. Please post your patch. Hopefully it will be improved upon and will become an official patch and slated for a future release.

+1 for this feature.

We are in the same situation. We'd love to manage all our projects with redmine but many projects have drastically different workflows.
For now we've settled on using redmine for the programming stuff and another tool for the rest - but obviously that's a less than ideal solution.

Redmine should ideally allow setting master workflows and then override them at the project level if required.

Yes,like workflow-name and status-name for grouping the workflows and statuses...
Hope the patch...

+1 We would heavily use this feature if available. Right now our PMs have to settle on one standard, but they frequently ask for more flexibility.

Make your patch public, so others can contribute.

I've just proposed a duplicated ticket #2905 for this feature. It would be really nice if we have it in next version.

Also for my company this feature is blocking the adoption of Redmine for our workflow. :(
