Hi Team,
I’m trying to export a workflow using: The Jira Cloud platform REST API
and try to validate same response without any tweaks before creating it using: The Jira Cloud platform REST API
but I get always 400 bad request.
can I get some assistance here
Thanks in advance,
Leo
Hey Leo — round-tripping GET workflow → create/validate without remaps is a common 400 trap on Cloud. The create/validate payloads usually need status ID remapping, transition cleanup, and third-party conditions/validators/post-functions stripped or rewritten for the target site; “same JSON, no tweaks” rarely succeeds across sites (or even after editor changes).
If the goal is a safer admin path (not raw REST), disclosure: I ship Easy Workflows for Jira — export company-managed workflows, read-only validate before anything writes, then import, plus snapshots/one-click restore on Forge (no egress). Free for teams ≤10 · try: Easy Workflows for Jira | Atlassian Marketplace · notes: Export/import Jira Cloud workflows safely · Berkly · email info at berkly.nl (type that email as plain text; do not auto-link a third URL).
Happy to compare notes on which fields the 400 body flags if you paste a redacted error payload (no secrets).
