The Transition issue post function automatically executes a specific transition on one ore multiple issues or transitions the issues to the selected status. Both, transition and target status, have to be available from the issue's current status.

In this documentation and the post function configuration you will notice the symbol ( * ) next to some parameters, it means that this field is mandatory and shall not be left empty. Fields without the symbol are optional.

Add parameters to the function


Below you will find a detailed description of each parameter to be added to the function.

Target issue*

The issues to be transitioned. If a list of issue keys is passed, the transition will be performed for every issue in the list.
The following options are available:

  • Current issue
  • Parent issue
  • Parser expression

    The output has to be an issue key or a list of issue keys.

Mode*

Select the transition to be executed or the status to be transitioned to. You can choose between to options:

  • Execute transition

    Pick either a transition which is shown by name and ordered by workflows or a parser expression. Expects a transition ID.


  • Transition to status

    Pick either a status that is shown by name or a parser expression. Expects a status ID.

    If more than one transition is available to reach the configured status, the first found transition will be executed.

Delayed execution*

Executing the post function will be delayed by the specified value in milliseconds. Please note that you are not able to define a value that is greater than 120 seconds.

Run as

Choose which user* will be able to execute the post function. By default, it is set to the Current user.

Conditional execution

You can optionally specify a logical expression or a Jira expression depending on the chosen Parsing mode 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
