The configuration

ParameterDescription
Jira expression *

Enter plain text and optionally use field codes, e.g. issue.summary, to insert field values. The result of the Jira expression shall return true or false.

(warning) Remember, that the usage of virtual fields is different when being used in Jira expressions (no need to add brackets {}).

If the syntax of the Jira expression is wrong or the evaluation with the given context issue returns an error, an error box with the respective error is displayed in an error box below.
