The issue list parsing mode lets you define a target selection of issues. It is being used in Post functions and Automation actions, that allow you to create or updated multiple issues. Therefore it is being used in:

• Create issue workflow post function
• Update fields workflow post function
• Transition issues workflow function
• Read fields from linked issues or sub-tasks workflow post function
• Create issue action - Automation
• Update field action - Automation
• Transition issue action - Automation

The output has to be a valid issue list as defined in the Data types section.

All JWT expression parser functions, that return an issue list can be used. Additionally issue lists can be constructed using functions like issueKeysToIssueList().

Make sure to read all about working with Lists as they come with many extremely useful JWT expression parser functions.

List functions can also be used in the Advanced text mode. The difference is, that the output will be a flat text instead of an issue list.

Alternatively you can use the , if you want to limit the issue selection or scope by writing a JQL query.
