Expressions are a fundamental concept within Jira Workflow Toolbox: every input into the JWT expression editor is considered an expression and will be interpreted by the JWT expression parser against the selected parsing mode. They are used for almost every input that you can make in workflow functions, automation rules and calculated fields. Expressions range from simple text, e.g. Basic text mode being the simplest one among the parsing modes allows to write free text and insert field codes. The other parsing modes support the usage of operators and expression parser functions. |
