The Follow Up Transition post function evaluates the workflow conditions of all the next transitions on the target status of the current transition, including global transitions. If exactly one transition is possible, that transition will be triggered as a follow-up. If more than one transition is possible, JSU cannot determine which to use as the follow-up transition. To learn more about global transitions in Jira workflows, see Atlassian’s https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-advanced

Configuration
The Follow Up Transition post function has no additional parameters to configure; , however, you must have at least one workflow condition configured.Consider the following workflow:
Use case
...
Our issue has a mandatory number custom field.
At the end of the Go transition, we have configured a Follow Up Transition post function.
Each transition leading away from the status
has a workflow condition:Status colour Yellow title junction Under Five has the condition: Number field < 5?
Exactly Five has the condition: Number field == 5?
Over Five has the condition: Number field > 5?
When a user performs the Go transition, this will always trigger a follow-up transition.
...
a == b?
You can use Jira’s Value Field conditions Field condition for this setup.
...
Check it: Follow Up Transition post function.
Yes: Condition a == b?
No: Condition a != b?
...
Management approval
See the Conditional Approval Process Streamline an approval process use case for another real-life example.

Troubleshooting
Problem: Workflow is blocked at the Junction status
Cause: Not exactly one condition
Usually, the problem can be tracked down by reviewing the expected outcome of the post function;
if exactly one condition is valid, the corresponding transition will be triggered.
...
If there is only one button, there might be something wrong with that transition. For example, a validator could prevent the transition from getting completed.
Cause: Triggered transition fails
Another reason might be that the triggered transition does not run. For example, if it has a validator that fails.
...
When using post functions that create issues or follow-up transitions, consider the outcome of the rule and the user permissions of your project teams. You can also use preconditions to restrict when rules are run to reduce the likelihood of causing an infinite loop. Learn more about how JSU identifies an infinite loop in Infinite Loop Detection .
