Configuration of preconditions
...
JSU's preconditions are a part of the post function section in Jira's workflow configuration. In the example below, a precondition is added to the Clear Field Value post function.
Choose your precondition

The following preconditions are available:

Combine multiple preconditions
You can insert multiple preconditions and combine them using the following operators:
AND: Previous result and current result must be true
OR: Either the previous result or current result must be true, or both
AND NOT: Previous result must be true, the current result must be false
OR NOT: Either the previous result must be true or current result must be false, or both
They are evaluated sequentially, combining the result of the previous precondition with the result from the current one. Parentheses to define precedence are not supported.
...
You can also disable the precondition by unchecking the enabled flag next to the delete button. This will leave the precondition in your configuration, but it will be ignored.
...
The post function setting
Your post function is always aware of the preconditions you configured, however, you still need to select whether you want the precondition to be true or false for the function to be executed.

Example
Say you want to tell the user to break up a large story into smaller stories. You could do this by creating an Update Any Issue Field post function and setting the precondition as described:
IF Original Estimate >= 2d
OR Story Points > 8
AND Issue Type = Story
In other words, if you have a time estimate greater than or equal to two days or the number of story points exceeds 8 and the issue is a Story, then you want to execute the post function.
In the post function, you update the issue by adding a new comment. After you save, the overview should appear similar to the following:
