Working with related issues Related issues can be selected using two inputs: Issue Relation - where you can choose relation to current (transitioned) issue JQL - you can put your JQL text to filter some issues from results. If you leave JQL Field empty, all issues in given relation are taken into account. In example above you want to execute workflow function on subtasks of current issue and additionally take only ones with type of "Sub-task" and priority="High". In JQL Field you can put some text tags to be replaced with actual values of current (transitioned) issue: $$CURRENT_DATETIME$$ $$ASSIGNEE$$ $$CURRENT_STATUS_CATEGORY$$ JQL field has validation feature built-in.
