For information on where the post-function needs to be placed on a transition, see Placing post-functions on a transition.

When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on will trigger the specified transition on each issue linked to the current issue through the selected link type, assuming that transition is valid for the linked issue's current status, and it is available to the current or the specified user.

Customize this post-function using the additional options provided as a part of the post-function. The options are:

  • Run as user

Any user specified in this field will be the author of the transition triggered by the post-function. Leave it blank for the current user to be the author. This option is useful if the current user doesn't have the permission to transition the linked issue(s).

  • Conditional execution

To execute this post-function based on the result of a groovy expression see Conditional execution using Groovy expression.

Note

The triggered transition (in each linked issue's workflow) should not be associated with a transition screen, especially if it includes required fields, because the transition screen will not be displayed.

If you want to trigger a transition that normally uses a transition screen, see here.

Info

The transition can be specified by name so that the transition can be found regardless of each linked issue's actual workflow, or by ID if disambiguation is required.

Refer to the Use cases for post-functions page for use cases for this post-function.
