Use case

Within JWT, project properties can be used to add additional meta data to your project, that than be later referenced throughout JWT's features.

In the following use case we use a project property to define a user that is the only one who is allowed to execute specific transitions.

Why use a project property instead of defining the user to be checked against right in the condition/ validator itself?

By using a project property for defining the user to be checked against, the configuration can be reused in several transitions. If then the user changes, the username must only be adapted in one central spot instead of going through every transition and check the configuration.





Prerequisites

UI Expand
titleSet up the project property

In order to get the value of the project property later on in the condition or validator, the property has first to be created.

UI Steps


UI Step

Head over to the project you want to create the project property in.


UI Step

Head over to Project settings → Details


UI Step

Add the following text to the project description:

Code Block
linenumberstrue
{approver=<username>}


UI Text Box
typeinfo

Replace <username> with the actual username you want to set as approver.






Configuration

UI Steps


UI Step

Add the Validation of JWT project property or Condition on JWT project property to the desired transition or create a new transition.


UI Step

Property key

Enter the name of the project property:

Code Block
linenumberstrue
approver


UI Text Box
typeinfo

In this case we named the project property approver. If you use a different name, make sure to update the above expression accordingly.



UI Step

Property value

Enter the following expression:

Code Block
linenumberstrue
%{system.currentUser}



UI Step

Operator

Choose is equal

This way the transition can only be executed by the approver. Any other user won't be able to do so.
