Introduction to Jira expressions

Jira expressions can be used to evaluate custom code in the context of Jira entities. It’s a domain-specific language designed with Jira in mind, evaluated on the Jira Cloud side. Jira expressions follow JavaScript syntax. You can think of them as a JavaScript dialect. Jira expressions uses a data model loosely inspired by Jira's REST API JSON model. You can learn more about the various data types supported by Jira expressions here, and explore them interactively on the Data Types help tab of the Jira expression editor. To quickly find out how to access a particular issue field, you can visit the Issue Fields help tab. Finally, to find out which global ("context") variables can be used in an expression, visit the Global Variables help tab.
