Troubleshooting this post-function configuration: In case the post-function does not work as expected these are the things to look out for
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:
Select the type of message box ("flag") to display. It can be one of "Info", "Success", "Warning" and "Error".
Select this option if you want the message box to disappear automatically after a few seconds.
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:
Navigate to URL: Input a text that represents a valid URL or a Nunjucks template that returns a valid URL. For example:
https://www.innovalog.com |
Navigate to another issue: Input a valid issue key or a Nunjucks template that returns an issue key. For example:
TEST-1 |
{{ issue.fields.parent.key }} |
