When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, a message is displayed to the user triggering the transaction, as a “flag” in the top right corner of the issue view page. You can also use Nunjucks annotations to insert issue, transition, and current user information into the Message body and Action type, using the 'issue', 'transition' and 'currentUser' variables, respectively. You can customize the post-function using the following options:
Options
Message type
Select the type of message box ("flag") to display. It can be one of "Info", "Success", "Warning" and "Error".
Auto close
Select this option if you want the message box to disappear automatically after a few seconds.
Action link
You can add an action link to the message which, when clicked, can navigate to another issue or to an arbitrary URL. To add an action link, select the "Add action link" checkbox:
- Action title: Input the title of the action link that will be displayed at the bottom of the message.
- Action type: Select the type of action to be performed.
Navigate to URL: Input a text that represents a valid URL or a Nunjucks template that returns a valid URL. For example:
Code Block language groovy linenumbers true https://www.innovalog.com
Navigate to another issue: Input a valid issue key or a Nunjucks template that returns an issue key. For example:
Code Block language groovy linenumbers true TEST-1
Code Block language groovy linenumbers true {{ issue.fields.parent.key }}
Conditional execution
To execute this post-function based on the result of a Nunjucks template see Conditional execution.
