Example - Assigning a ticket to the user who performed the previous workflow step

In our example, the ticket was originally assigned to the Tester 2 user. Then the assignee was changed to admin. We are going to add a post-function that will assign a ticket back to Tester 2 on a ticket transition.

  1. Go to Jira Administration > Issues > Workflows.
  2. Click Edit for a project where you want to add post-function.
