When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger it, the add-on clears the selected field(s) of the current issue.
Conditional execution
To execute this post-function based on the result of a groovy expression see Conditional execution/validation using a Groovy expression.
Error Handling
By default, all errors (Java Exceptions) raised by this post-function, including those raised by custom Groovy scripts, will be logged in the JIRA log file but will not be reported to the user and will not prevent the transition from completing.
However, when designing new workflows or troubleshooting them, it is more convenient to be notified immediately of any such error during the execution of the transition.
For example on the
production Jira instances you might want to show errors only for the post-function(s) being worked on, in order to avoid disrupting other workflows.
To make
errors raised by the current post-
function prevent the transition from completing and show the error in the browser, select Make transition fail when an error occurs in this post-function.
If you want to show all the errors, either only to the admins or to all users, configure the option
globally on the JMWE configuration page. For example,
on development and staging Jira instances, you can activate error reporting for all
JMWE post-functions, to display all the errors and it is recommended to do so, and on production Jira instances you might want to activate error reporting only to administrators so that they can be made aware of configuration errors.

When the option is selected on a post-function, it overrides the configuration on the JMWE configuration page. |
