Features used to implement the example
Example: Set priority for issues that have been in a certain status for longer than 24 hours
I'm going to answer publicly to a question I have receiver by private email but that may be of interest for all users of the plugin. The question is:
We are going to do it in two steps:
We use post-function Copy parsed text to a field to set virtual field "Ephemeral string 1" with the name of the priority we want to use:
We use post-function Write field on issues returned by JQL query or issue list to set virtual field "Priority" with the value stored in "Ephemeral string 1" in all issues returned by the following JQL query:status = "In Progress" and status was "In Progress" before -1d
Once configured, the transition configuration will look like this:
