This routine has a very limited working scope. Since it handles transient values, it will work correct only if an interval is called starting from the moment the user clicks the Submit button on the transition screen up to the point when the issue is saved in the database. Therefore we can define the valid scope for the routine to be validators and certain post functions. It means that you will not be able to use it in conditions, SIL services, SIL listeners nor from the SIL Gadget.
While using in post functions this routine will work in SIL post functions that run before the routines that save the issue in the database. The latter are default Jira post functions that can be easily recognized by their name, for instance "Update change history for an issue and store the issue in the database ", for a regular transition "Creates the issue originally ", for the "Create Issue " transition, and so on. |
