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
