Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior
When I delete a workflow state from a project in a workspace, it disappears from the list, but when I refresh the page, the deleted state reappears.
What should happen is the workflow state gets deleted and does not reappear on subsequent page refreshes.
I believe the state is merely getting removed from the web UI when deleted, but is not actually getting deleted on the backend.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to a project where the current user is an admin.
- Open project settings > states.
- Create a new state in any category.
- Delete the state (state will disappear from web UI)
