Refer the Troubleshooting and Support page if the post-functions does not seem to be working as you would expect.

When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on will transition the issue further using the specified transition, assuming it is valid for the new status and available to the current or selected user.

Run As

  • Run as current user

The current user will be the author of the transition triggered by the post-function. 

  • Run as add-on user

The add-on user will be the author of the transition triggered by the post-function. 

  • Run as this user

The user selected in this field will be the author of the transition triggered by the post-function.

Transition screen

If the transition uses a transition screen you might want/need to provide a value for fields(such as Resolution) present on the screen. Look below to know how to add/set/remove fields.

    • To add a field : Select a field from the list of fields and click on Add.
    • To Remove an added field : Click on Remove to remove a field.
    • To Set a field value : 
      • Set field value to : You can set the field to a specific value, wherein the value can also include Nunjucks annotations.
        For example: To set the Assignee to Charlie, you can specify the accountId (use Lookup user feature to know the accountId) of user Charlie in the value box.

Likewise, you might also want to provide a comment during that transition. This will only work if the triggered transition is associated with a transition screen.

    • Comment : adds a comment to the current issue. The Comment can be any simple text, e.g. This is a comment. You can also use Nunjucks annotations in the comment using variables. To find out more about the variables, see How to insert information using Nunjucks annotations.
    • Comment visibility : 

      • Restrict to Group : Restricts the visibility of the comment to a specified group. When you select a valid group name in the Restrict to Group field, the comment will be visible only to the members of the specified group. For no restriction, leave the field blank.

      • Restrict to Project Role : Restricts the visibility of the comment to a selected project role. When you select a project role from the drop-down Restrict to Project Role field, the comment will be visible only to the members of the selected project role. For no restriction, leave the field blank.
      • Restrict to Internal (Jira Service Desk only) : Restricts the visibility of the comment to the Service Desk Agents and Collaborators only.
