JIRA change of workflow on existing projects

Viewed 11547

I have created a new workflow in JIRA since the current one I am basing my team to work on, doesn't longer fits our needs. The concern I have is what happens to the previous tickets? do they change at all or are kept as is? will the new tickets that are to be created the only ones to contain the new workflow?

For historical and management reasons, I'd like old tickets to stay as is.

Your current issues will still be there, you never lose them. If you look in the board configuration at the Columns you'll find the new workflow states. Some issues may not be mapped to a visible state -- you'll see them too. Move them over until they are in the new workflow's column and/or state.
