The JQL parsing mode, just like the Issue list mode, lets you define a target selection of issues. It is being used in Post functions and Automation actions, that allow you to create or updated multiple issues. Therefore it is being used in:
- Create issue workflow post function
- Update fields workflow post function
- Transition issues workflow function
- Log work workflow post function
- Read fields from linked issues or sub-tasks workflow post function
- Create issue action - Automation
- Update field action - Automation
- Transition issue action - Automation
- Log work action - Automation
The output has to be a valid issue list as defined in the Data types section.
All JWT expression parser functions, that return an issue list can be used.
Example expressions
Parser expression | Description |
---|---|
subtasks() | This example returns a list of all sub-tasks of the current issue. |
xxxx | This example returns: blue |
Make sure to read all about working with Lists as they come with many extremely useful JWT expression parser functions.
List functions can also be used in the Advanced text mode. The difference is, that the output will be a flat text instead of an issue list.
The main advantage over the advanced text mode is, that you can use the returned elements of the issue list as Seeds
