This post function automatically executes a specific transition on the selected issues or transitions issues to a selected status. 

It is the preferred way of executing transitions. However, in some cases, e.g. the automatic transitioning of newly created issues using the Create issue post function, users might want to use the following alternative field codes:


Configuration

Select the issue(s) to be transitioned. The following options are available:

OptionDescription
Current issueThe current issue will be transitioned.
Parent issueThe current issue's parent will be transitioned.
Sub-tasksThe current issue's sub-tasks will be transitioned. If you choose this option you can further filter your selection (e.g. by issue type or status). Only useful for standard issues. 
Sibling sub-tasksThe current issue's sibling sub-tasks will be transitioned. Only useful if the current issue is a sub-task. 
Linked issuesLinked issues will be transitioned. If you choose this option you can further filter your selection (e.g. by issue type or status). 
Linked epicThe related epic will be transitioned.
Issues under epicAll issues related to the same epic will be transitioned. If you choose this option you can further filter your selection (e.g. by issue type or status). 
Sibling issues under epicAll sibling issues related to the same epic will be transitioned. If you choose this option you can further filter your selection (e.g. by issue type or status). 
Set target issue manually (parser expression)

Define the issues that will be transitioned by defining an expression. The JQL mode and Issue list mode are available.

The expression must return either a valid JQL expression or an issue list with issue keys.




Select the transition to be executed or the status to be transitioned to. The following options are available:

OptionDescription
Execute transition

Either select an existing transition from any available workflow or set the transition manually using a parser expression in Basic text mode.

The expression must return a transition name.


Transition to status

Either select an existing status from any available workflow or set the status manually using a parser expression in Basic text mode.

The expression must return a status name.

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



Both, transition or target status, have to be available from the issues' current status. The provided list, however, contains all statuses and transitions in the system.



Choose between the following options (multi choice is possible):

OptionDescription
Ignore conditions

Existing conditions in the transitions to be executed will be ignored.

Ignore validators

Existing validators in the transitions to be executed will be ignored.

Ignore project permissions

The "Transition Issues" project permission will be ignored for the user running this post function.
