Introduction to Nunjucks

One of the powerful features of JMWE is the ability to use Nunjucks templates to calculate field values dynamically, including text and date values for Jira fields, setting links between Jira issues using complex logic, and calculating transition values for Jira issues using values from other issues. Nunjucks is a sophisticated templating engine for JavaScript. It allows for dynamic content generation in any text field through the use of templates. A template contains variables and/or expressions, which get replaced with values when a template is rendered; and tags, which control the logic of the template. 

Info

Some basic templating features are described in the pages of this section and more are documented on the Nunjucks website. For more information on Nunjucks templating, including additional features, please see the Nunjucks documentation.
