User to run the JQL query and the workflow transition
Be aware that depending Depending on the user who runs the JQL query, the result might be different. Not all users have the same permissions, so they might not see all JIRA Jira projects.
In production, it is a good idea to create a separate 'technical' user (not used by any a real humanperson), with a special name (for example 'automatic transition'). This will appear in the history of any changed issue. With a separate 'technical' user with special name it is transparent for the end users of Jira, what happened.
JQL query
Any valid JQL query.
We recommend using a JQL query that returns issues only with a status , which actually does have that has a transition to the target status.
Otherwise, it will not be possible to trigger a transition, and therefore, they remain in the result of the JQL query. Those remaining issues would then be unnecessarily processed again and again.
...
The origin status of the issues does not matter. As long as there is a valid workflow transition to the specified target status, this will be triggered. If there is no valid workflow transition, nothing happens with those issues. Workflow conditions and validators might prevent performing the transition.
