To see what's the real power of the Workflow PowerBox Templates, you have to understand what is a workflow itself. Simply , it is a set of statusesstatus and transitions moving issue issues from one status to another.
While creating a workflow, you can design its transitions with taking into account post functions and all constraints such as validators and conditions. Possibilities are almost endless. But what should be done in a situation when you have to manage multiple complex workflows that are associated to with different projects? Adding all conditions, validators and postfunctions become becomes a very complex and time-consuming work. Every single transition has to be updated with conditions, validators and post functions manually. It's especially particularly hard when you often use similar sets of transition elements many times.
This is were when worfklow templates comes come in placehandy.
Now , you are able to create a whole package of transition elements, bundle them into with a template and easily then add them easily and quickly add to your workflow transitions. You can create you your own condition templates, validator templates, post and post function templates. Each of them can be created and edited independently giving you a bunch lot of options thanks to which so that you can effectively manage your workflow transitions effectively.
