4. Give your new workflow a name and description that reflects its purpose and specific requirements.
5. Click on "Add Status" to define the different statuses that issues in your project can move through.
6. Connect the statuses with transitions to create the flow of how issues progress through the workflow.
7. Add conditions, validators, and post functions to customize the behavior of your workflow based on specific project requirements.
8. Once you have defined and configured all the necessary components of your custom workflow, click on "Publish" to make it available for use in your project.
