Refer to the Use cases for post-functions page for use cases for this post-function.
When you write Groovy scripted post-functions to set/modify the values of issues other than the current issue, you need to use the setFieldValue(String <field_name>or<field_Id>, Object value) method, otherwise the changes will not be saved.
When you add this post-function to a transition, the add-on executes the provided Groovy script against the current issue. This post-function can be used in scenarios where you want to act on the current issue or on related issues in ways that are not supported by other JMWE post-functions. For example, you might want to copy attachments of the current issue to its linked issues, which is not currently supported by the Copy field value to linked issues post-function.
