Description
The Update Issues post function can update one or more issues or sub-tasks. Issues can be explicitly listed or derived from custom fields or JQL query. A common example would be to use a JQL query and the Substitution Variables %jql_result_list%. Regex pattern matching conditions determine whether the issues will be changed or not. The JQL is either run once (default) or once for each issue being updated (when the query contains the %entry% substitution variable).

| Tip |
|---|
- When updating an issue different than the issue being transitioned, fields that you are planning to update must be on the edit issue screen for the user doing the transition (or acting user if specified).
- If you need to update the same issue as that being created on the create issue transition, ensure the post function is placed towards the end of the list of post functions, especially after the update to the database action.
