Post functions can be used to automate tasks and ensure consistent data quality by eliminating or at least minimizing human error.

Jira ships with built-in post functions but those are limited. JWT for Jira Cloud extends that list by offering custom post functions. 

All post functions, as opposed to conditions and validators, use the power of the expression parser to to get you the data you need, when you need it.

Known limitations

  • Post functions are executed asynchronously as a background job. This means that the status is already set to the target status, even if the post functions of the transition have not yet been fully executed.
  • The Jira Cloud API does not provide any way to return a message in case of errors being thrown during the execution.
  • The order in which post functions are executed is not guaranteed. Post functions will very likely be executed in a different order than they have been set up in the workflow configuration. (warning) Please keep that in mind when configuring post functions relying on results of a different post function.
  • If a post function cannot be executed due to misconfiguration or other problems, the transition and all other configured post functions will still be executed.
