A huge number of potential use cases can be addressed by using Jira expressions which is currently a Cloud Only feature provided by Atlassian. Jira expressions can be a powerful tool but they come with limitations.

Enter plain text and optionally use field codes, e.g. issue.summary, to insert field values. The result of the Jira expression shall return true or false.

Enter the message to show to the end-user when the validation fails. In case you don't enter a message, the default error Message for JWT for Jira Cloud "Validation failed for validator 'Jira expression validator (JWT)'" is displayed in case of a failing validation.

We highly recommended to test your expression before publishing the workflow. Click on and select an issue for the context of the evaluation of the given Jira expression. After clicking the "Run" button the result of the evaluation is shown in a message box below.
