A very basic rule only consists of two elements: a trigger (mostly a Jira event like an issue update) that kicks off the rule and an action (like adding a comment) that will be performed automatically.

Optionally you can further refine your rule by configuring selectors and conditions.

The name and description can be updated at any time. If you want to update any configuration element you need to disable the rule first.

titleReorder elements using drag and drop

When you hover over an element's name, you will notice the arrow cross symbol. This means that the element is available for drag and drop (meaning it can be moved within the rule).

When starting to drag an element by clicking and holding the left mouse button, valid drop targets are marked with a + symbol.
