When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on sets the specified entity property of the current issue, current issue's project or current user to the specified value. 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. You can also use Nunjucks annotations to insert issue, transition and current user information into the value, using the 'issue', 'transition' and 'currentUser' variables, respectively.
