titleShould I use an automation rule or a workflow post function?

typetip

When to use this automation rule and when to use a workflow post function?

This use case is very useful, if there are several software projects with different workflows where all related issues have to be closed on releasing a new version. Configuring just one automation rule might then be the easier way to go. But if this scenario is only necessary for one workflow, the Transition Issues post function would make more sense. In this case you might want to check out our corresponding post function use case.
