Post function parameters
Post function takes following parameters:
- Issue relation and JQL - described at the bottom of the page
- Which transition - method of transition selection
- Transition by name or id - simply enter name or ID of transition (it must be available in current related issue state)
- Transiton to status - select destination status and post function execute first matching transition (try until first transition is successful).
- As user - select user who will perform the transition. If empty then current user is used. It can be useful when you try to transition issues from other projects where current user is not permitted to act.
Working with related issues Related issues can be selected by using two inputs: Issue Relation - where you can choose a relation with the current (transitioned) issue; JQL - you can put your JQL text to filter some issues from the results. If you leave the JQL Field empty, all issues in a given relation are taken into account. In the example above you wanted to execute a workflow function on subtasks of the current issue and take additionally only the ones with the "Sub-task" and priority="High" type. In the JQL field you can put some text tags to be replaced with actual values of the current (transitioned) issue: $$CURRENT_DATETIME$$ $$ASSIGNEE$$ $$CURRENT_STATUS_CATEGORY$$ The JQL field has a built-in validation feature. If your query is incorrect, you will see a red sign next to the JQL field and an error description as shown below:
