What is Workflow PowerBox?
Workflow PowerBox is a solution that extends JIRA's workflow capabilities by a set of powerful templates that allow JIRA administrators to reuse workflow elements (such as conditions, validators and post functions) and manage workflows as flexible as possible.
The app contains three template types:
- Condition templates
- Validator templates
- Post function templates
It also comes with a set of custom conditions, validators and post functions that can be used with templates or directly in JIRA workflows.

Clicking on the Conditions or Validators or Post Functions Template buttons, they will redirect you to the pages where you can create a template with a set of workflow elements.
