Overview
Boolean expressions, or logical expressions, will always return or accept one of two distinct BOOLEANvalues: true or false.
Logical expressions, which can currently be used in the logical parsing mode are built using the following components:
- Basic elements
- Operators
- Expression parser functions
To ease into the logical expressions, we have prepared some examples on how you can construct more or less complex logical expressions.
A full list of examples can be found here.
Basic elementsNEEDS TECH REVIEW
The table below lists all simple elements or operands that can be used in a logical expression.
| Element | Description | Example | Output value NEEDS TECH REVIEW |
|---|---|---|---|
BOOLEAN | A boolean value of true or false | true, TRUE, false, FALSE | BOOLEAN |
TEXT | A quoted text or a text field code. | "This is a text" | STRING |
TEXT LIST | Text lists are enclosed by square brackets. Not only literals can be used as elements, but also field codes. | ["first element", "second element", %{issue.summary}] | STRING [] |
NUMBER | A numeric value or a numeric field code. | 3 | NUMBER |
NUMBER LIST | Number lists are enclosed by square brackets. Not only literals can be used as elements, but also field codes. | [5.1326, 3, 100000001, {issue.labels.length}] | NUMBER [] |
NULL | A specific value for comparisons if a field or another value is not set or equals null. | null | NULL |
TIME PERIOD | A specific time period: from SECOND to YEAR (in capital letters) in milliseconds | MINUTE, DAY, WEEK, MONTH | NUMBER |
WEEKDAY | The weekdays in capital letters (MONDAY-SUNDAY) - internally represented by a number | TUESDAY | NUMBER |
MONTH | The months in capital letters (JANUARY-DECEMBER) - internally represented by a number | JUNE | NUMBER |
