Additional options
  • Write protection - Do not overwrite the target field if it is already set.

  • Evaluate all rules - Do not stop rule evaluation at the first match.

    Only applicable for multi-valued or temporary target fields.

  • Update issue immediately - The field update results in a dedicated "Issue Updated" event and issue history entry.
Conditional execution

You can optionally specify a logical expression to define the circumstances (or conditions) under which the post function should be executed.

The result of the logical expression must return a boolean value of either:

  • true → the post function will be executed
  • false → the post function will not be executed

Using the conditional operator, even complex or multi-layered conditions can be constructed.

Make sure to learn more about defining logical expressions and browse through the various examples here: Logical mode
