Info
titleRestrictions when used with the create issue transistion

Only custom fields can be updated on the create issue transition; standard fields cannot be updated on the create issue transition. This is a permanent restriction - see CW-34.

Example

This scenario introduces a new Update issue workflow post function to a transition step within an existing workflow.

Background

This scenario uses an example ePub workflow that helps teams coordinate the publication of electronic books. While transitioning from the "Open" to "In Draft" steps, let us create a new sub-task within a specific IT Services project in the Jira instance. This creates a sub-task issue in the backlog of the Digital Publication team, so their manager can begin to forecast and assign resources.
