When one of the JMWE post-functions does not work as expected, you can use the "Error handling" option in the post-function configuration to be notified of the errors immediately during the transition, or switch on this option globally on the JMWE configuration page.

Globally: Configure it globally by selecting one of the following options in the JMWE configuration page:

  • Display errors for all users when an error occurs in a JMWE post-function

  • Display errors for administrators only when an error occurs in a JMWE post-function

  • Do not display errors that occur in a JMWE post-function

On the post-function: Configure it on the post-function configuration screen by selecting the Make transitions fail when an error occurs in this post-function option, save the workflow and publish it.

...

  • A transition of your workflow has a post-function to set the Sprint of an issue with a value say, Sprint 1.

  • On trigger of the transition on the issue, the transition will be completed with errors reported in the log file since the Sprint field expects a number.

  • Now select Make transitions fail when an error occurs in a JMWE post-function option in the JMWE configuration page.

  • Re-trigger the same transition.

In this way, you will not be allowed to trigger the transition until the displayed workflow error is resolved and will be notified immediately of errors if any.
