Set issue types for workflow in workflow scheme

PUT

/rest/api/3/workflowscheme/{id}/workflow

Sets the issue types for a workflow in a workflow scheme. The workflow can also be set as the default workflow for the workflow scheme. Unmapped issues types are mapped to the default workflow.

Note that active workflow schemes cannot be edited. If the workflow scheme is active, set updateDraftIfNeeded to true in the request body and a draft workflow scheme is created or updated with the new workflow-issue types mappings. The draft workflow scheme can be published in Jira.

Permissions required: Administer Jira global permission.
