Description

Custom condition is a workflow condition that uses powerful Jira expressions and types to control whether the user can execute the transition or not. If the expression used as a condition:

• Succeeds: User can see the next status in the issue workflow and can transition the issue.
• Fails: User cannot see the next status in the issue workflow and therefore, cannot proceed with the transition.
