Page Comparison

Conditions control who can perform a transition and the circumstances under which they can perform this transition. If any part of a transition's condition fails, the user will not see the transition link on the 'view issue' page.

You can use JJupin and SIL Power Scripts™ for Jira and SIL™ to define a large set of conditions beside Jira's built-in conditions, by just adding a (k) SIL SIL™ Condition to the transition and publishing the workflow, as described here.

Below are just a few The following common examples explain this feature:

You will need the following JIRA plugin:

Previous status

A workflow condition that allows enables you to disable a particular transition if the current issue has never been in a specific status:

...

number STATUS_OPEN = 1;
string[] status_history = fieldHistory(key, "status");
string previous_status = getElement(status_history, size(status_history)-3);

return previous_status == STATUS_OPEN;

Cascading select comparer

A workflow condition that allows you to disable a particular transition when two cascading selects are equals:

...

//Condition Cascading select comparer

if(length(customfield_10000) == 0 && length(customfield_10001) == 0) { //both cascading select are empty
   return true;
}
if(customfield_10000 == customfield_10001) {
   return true;
}
return false;

Condition based on regular expression

A workflow condition that allows you to disable a particular transition when a custom field value doesn't match to a regular expression:

...

//Condition based on regular expression

return matches(Combo, "accepted(.)(\\\\d+\\\\.?){10}(.)[a-z]+(-)(\\\\d+\\\\.?)"));

Condition based on linked issues

A workflow condition that allows you to disable a particular transition when the current issue has no linked issues:

//Condition on linked issues

if(isNull(getLinkedIssues(key)) || return size(linkedIssues(key))==0) {
   return false> 0;
}

Condition on non-linked issue

A workflow condition that allows you to disable a particular transition when the current issue has linked issues.It's the reverse condition of the SIL code above:

//Condition on non-linked issue

if(isNull(getLinkedIssues(key)) || return size(linkedIssues(key)) ==0) {
   return true;
}
return false; 0;

Condition based on mathematical expression

A workflow condition that allows you to disable a particular transition when the mathematical expression calculated does not accomplish the script condition:

...

More details can be found on Math Routinesroutines section.

Condition based on date-time expression

A SIL condition which checks if due date is before current datethe day after tomorrow:

return dueDate > (currentDate() + "2d");

More useful date routines can be found in the Date Routines section. 

Compare two parsed texts

A SIL condition which checks if description contains summary:

return contains(description, summary);

Except assignee Condition

...

//Except reporter condition

return currentUser() == reporter;

Except in project role condition

A SIL condition that allows you to disable a particular transition when the current logged in user is not in a given project role:

string ROLE = "Administrators";
return isUserInRole(currentUser(),project, ROLE);

Only/Except users in custom field

A SIL condition that allows you to disable a particular transition when the current logged in user is in a multi user picker custom field (eg Team):

return elementExists(Team, currentUser());

If you want the transition to be available to any user except the ones from the multi user picker cf Team, you have to negate the previous condition:

return !elementExists(Team, currentUser());

Users in a field are/aren't in a project role

A SIL condition that makes a transition available only if all users in multi user picker custom field Team are in project role Developers:

string ROLE = "Developers";
for(string user in Team) {
    if(!isUserInRole(user, project, ROLE)) {
       return false;
    }
}

If you want to disable the transition if at least one user from multi user picker cf Team is in role Administrators, use the following:

string ROLE = "Administrators";
for(string user in Team) {
    if(isUserInRole(user, project, ROLE)) {
       return false;
    }
}

A custom field is/isn't initialized

A SIL condition that allows you to disable a particular transition if a custom field is not initialized:

return isNotNull(customfield_10000);

If you want to disable the transition if field is initialized you should use:

return isNull(customfield_10000);

Check user property

A SILcondition which checks if a user property has a certain value:

string COUNTRY = "Romania";
return getUserProperty(currentUser(), "country") == COUNTRY;

Condition based on boolean expression

...

Where customfield_11300 and customfield_11301 are JIRA Jira custom fields of type numeric.

Condition based on equality of time spans

Define 3 intervals and compare them in a condition.

...

A SIL condition which checks if there are less than 3 days and a half remaining before the estimated time will be exceeded:

interval tstRemaining = "3d 4h";

return tstEstimatetstRemaining ==< (tstSpentestimate +- tstRemainingtimeSpent);

In the example above it is used the addition between tstSpent and tstRemainingsubstraction between estimate and timeSpent, but the user can also use the subtraction between tstEstimate and any of the other 2 intervals.addition between two time intervals in SIL.

All sub-tasks must be resolved

The transition won't be shown unless all sub-tasks are resolved. You can also specify a particular resolution that the sub-tasks must be in (in our example Fixed):

string[] subtasks = subtasks(key);
for(string subtask in subtasks) {
    if(%subtask%.status != "Resolved" || %subtask%.resolution != "Fixed") {
       return false;
    }
}
