This function is planned to deprecated in a future release of JWT.
JWT offers to temporarily store values in Temporary text or Temporary number fields. The values are automatically deleted at the end of each transition.
This post function is used to inhibit this automatic purge mechanism only for the current transition. This way you can continue to work with the temporary values in the next transition triggered in the workflow.
Temporary field values are volatile since they are stored in the server's memory, and not persisted in the Jira database, unlike custom fields.
They should only be used as temporary storage of values within the same transition, or a series of transitions automatically executed in sequence. This post function is intended to be used in this second case, in order to share temporary field values between different transitions of the sequence, otherwise, values will be wiped out at the end of each transition.
No further configuration is needed for this post function.
