Excerpt
Post functions are provided with an option to control their execution. You need to input a Nunjucks template in the `Condition` `Condition` field, and based on the result of that expression, the post-function will either be executed or skipped.

...

To add a condition to control the execution of the post-function :

Select the check box Run this post-function only if a condition is verified.
Type a Nunjucks template that returns either trueor false.

Note that any non-empty string that is not false will be considered as true and will thus let the post-function run.

...

`Expected value in the Nunjucks template`

The value should be either a boolean value (true or false) or more generally any text that will be interpreted as either "truthy" or "falsy".

Text: Any text will be interpreted as "truthy" (the equivalent of true) except false, an empty string, a string consisting only of whitespaces. For example, the following text will be considered as "truthy":

true
1
A string
[Object object]
[]

Boolean logic operators: You can use traditional boolean logic operators, such as or, and and not, to combine conditions. You can also use parentheses to group expressions. For example:

{{ 1 == 1 or 1==2 }}
{{ issue.key == 'TEST-1' and issue.fields.subject == 'Do it' }}
{{ true and (false or true) }}
{{ not 1==1 }}
{{ issue.fields.description is null }} returns true if the issue has no description
{{ issue.fields.assignee is not null }} returns true if the issue has an Assignee

Examples of Nunjucks expressions returning a "truthy" value:

{{issue.fields.assignee}} if the issue is assigned
{{issue.fields.assignee.accountId == "accountId:557058:8952dfd1-85c4-493f-87d8-d383b987e05c"}} if the issue is assigned to the user whose accountId is "557058:8952dfd1-85c4-493f-87d8-d383b987e05c"
{{issue.fields.description is not null}} if the issue's description is not empty
{{issue.fields.assignee and issue.fields.status.name == "In Progress"}} if the issue is assigned and in the “In Progress” status
