rule
Go to Project Settings > Workflows and click Edit for the required workflow.
You can choose Choose the transition where you want to perform your post function. In this case, we choose the "Done" transitiontransition to
.Status colour Green title DONE Select the Post Functions tab and click Add post function.
Select the Update any Issue Field (JSU) post function, then click Add.
Because we want this post function to perform only for Epicsepics, we will need to configure a precondition. Therefore, we set the precondition to be true at the beginning of the post function configuration.
In this transition, you want to have your Epic epic status updated to "Done". Fill out the fields and click Add.
.Status colour Green title done Select Within same Issue for the issue relation.
Select Epic Status for the Issue Field.
Click Add at the bottom of the page.
Now it's time to create your precondition to prevent errors when the workflow is used to for non-Epic epic issues. Click Add post function, select Precondition: Value Field (JSU) then click Add.
Configure your precondition by choosing
Issue typeto be equal to= Epicand make sure the comparison type is " String". Click Add.
Publish your workflow.
Now check what you have achieved with JSU. Your Epic epic is currently visible on the Backlogbacklog. Move your Epic to "Done" epic to
and go back to your Backlogbacklog. Your Epic epic doesn't show up anymore!Status colour Green title done
