hasChanged()

This function returns true only if the field has changed in the current transition.

The function hasChanged() is used when we set a validation that is incompatible with a condition in the same transition, typically when validating a value entered in the transition screen. When Jira evaluates the validations in a transition, it also re-evaluates the conditions, and if they are not satisfied an error message is shown and the transition is not executed.
