Introduction
JIRA administrators often need to implement sophisticated workflows that go beyond the built-in capabilities of JIRA. The JIRA Misc Workflow Extensions add-on provides extensions to workflows that help you to design advanced workflows.
The add-on provides advanced Conditions, Validators and Post-functions to achieve this purpose with no programming skills. You can tailor your JIRA workflows to meet your need and reduce the user intervention on actions.
For information on the features, see: Workflow Extensions
