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, linked issue, transition and current user information into
Value, using the 'issue', 'linkedIssue', '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.
