When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on sets the selected field of the current issue to the specified value. The value can be provided either as text (with optional Nunjucks annotations) or as a JSON value.
- In the case of text, it can be a simple string (for text typed fields), the string representation of a number, date or boolean value, or the string representation of a complex value, such as a Version name, a username, a Project key, etc. Multiple values can be separated by commas. You can also use Nunjucks annotations to insert issue, transition and current user information into the value, using the 'issue', 'transition' and 'currentUser' variables, respectively.
- In the case of a JSON value, which requires the option
Treat value as JSON
(explained below), it can be a String, a Number, a Boolean or an Object. It can also be an array of such values.
To find out more about the type of value expected by this post-function for different field types, see Expected value for each field type.
Options
- Treat value as JSON
Sets the field value from a JSON object or an array of objects. It will take the Value

- Set only if field is empty
Sets the value of the selected field only if the field is empty.
- Create missing value(s)
Allows creating any missing Component/s or Version/s while setting or copying a field that expects Versions or Components. Note this is applicable for version and component fields.
- Ignore empty value
Will not set (clear) the selected field, if the value is empty or null.
- Add value(s) to the field
Appends the specified value(s) to the selected field of the current issue. This is applicable only to multi-valued fields.
- Send notifications
Jira sends notifications for the change in the selected field value on the current issue. You can control the default value of the "Send notifications"
