The current implementation works just fine, as long as issue types don't get renamed. If for e.g., the issue type Bug is renamed to Error the above configured post function won't work correct anymore.

The following implementation is an alternative that even works after renaming issue types!

titleAlternative implementation using issueType()


UI Text Box
typeinfo

Instead of entering the issue type name itself, we will use the parser function issueType() with the issue type id.


UI Steps


UI Step

Head over to your Jira Administration → Issues → Issue types


UI Step

Hover over the Edit button of the desired issue type and grab the id from the URL.


The URL might be something like:

Code Block
http://your-domain.com/secure/admin/EditIssueType!default.jspa?id=10100


UI Text Box
typeinfo

The id can be found at the end of the URL: id=10100.

If the id of the issue type Task was 10100, the expression would be:

Code Block
linenumberstrue
issueType(10100)




UI Step

Update the above rules like follows:
