Update workflow scheme

POST

/rest/api/3/workflowscheme/update

Updates company-managed and team-managed project workflow schemes. This API doesn't have a concept of draft, so any changes made to a workflow scheme are immediately available. When changing the available statuses for issue types, an asynchronous task migrates the issues as defined in the provided mappings.

Permissions required:

Administer Jira project permission to update all, including global-scoped, workflow schemes.

Administer projects project permission to update project-scoped workflow schemes.
