Edit a classic workflow scheme (drafts if active)

Works with AI assistants

Use Jira: its Jira Cloud platform REST Workflow schemes API lets you edit a classic workflow scheme (drafts if active) in a single step (PUT /rest/api/3/workflowscheme/{id}). Jira also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.

• How do I rename a company-managed project's workflow scheme?
• What happens if I edit a workflow scheme that projects are already using?
• Can the classic update create a draft workflow scheme instead of failing on an active one?

Say it to your AI assistant

• Rename classic workflow scheme {id} to {name}.
• Update classic workflow scheme {id} with description {description}, creating a draft if it is active ({updateDraftIfNeeded}).

For your developer
