More than just workflows |
Jira Workflow Toolbox |
Native functionality gets extended by offering custom conditions, validators and post functions.

What are workflows?
Workflows, in general, can be explained as cities with (one way) roads connecting them.
Issues within Jira can be seen as cars taking the roads to go from one city to another. Their way is clearly defined and they're not able to access a city where no road is.
Sometimes driving a car might be more complicated than expected, e.g. when trying to cross borders.
Conditions
If the border between the two countries is closed, there is no possibility to go from country A to country B at this point. This behavior can be compared with conditions within workflows. If the condition is not met, you are not able to execute the transition. If the condition is met, you are free to go.
Validators
In some instances, there is an open border but you still have to show your passport to check, if you're allowed to cross the border. If not, you cannot continue your journey, otherwise, you're free to go. This behavior can be compared with validators within workflows. You can always try to execute the transition but if the validator's condition is not met, you'll get a message stating that you cannot continue.
Post functions
Driving a car itself might sometimes be boring or exhausting. Then it's time to stop for a break, refuel the car, or do some sightseeing. That's like post functions within workflows. If just going from one city to another is not enough because you also have to do some tasks during the trip, post functions are the way to go.

, or JWT, is the best-rated Jira app and your all-in-one toolbox for limitless workflow customization, process automation and live data display. Enjoy an unparalleled user experience while implementing and automating your day-to-day processes - from reporting for the financial department and meeting the most complex governance needs, to simply saving a ton of time and reducing human error through automation - you only need one app, JWT. Jira Workflow Toolbox, as the name suggests, started as a pure workflow app. Today, it's an all-in-one solution with three main pillars, that you normally have to buy individual apps for:
Each feature is built on an easy-to-use user interface that guides the admin through the configuration steps. Built-in examples and an extensive in-app handbook provide the right level of guidance, just when you might need it. When going gets tough, and your use case warrants a complex solution, the almost unlimited power of the built-in JWT expression editor and its underlying expression parser build the common foundation of all features. Hundreds of parser functions, such as subtasks(), count() and timeInStatus(), are easy to understand and well-documented, but also grant access to current or historic issue data and enable you to perform even complex date, time, numeric, and text operations. |
