Info

JMWE shows an error message on the issue view if any error occurs during the execution of the post-function. This message is displayed only if the current user is a Jira administrator. 

When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, a message is displayed to the user triggering the transaction, as a “flag” in the top right corner of the issue view page. You can also use Nunjucks annotations to insert issue, transition, and current user information into the Message body and Action type, using the 'issue', 'transition' and 'currentUser' variables, respectively. You can customize the post-function using the following options:

Options

Message type: Select the type of message box ("flag") to display. It can be one of "Info", "Success", "Warning" and "Error".

Auto close: Select this option if you want the message box to disappear automatically after a few seconds
