Acting user

Transition user

Provides a way to for some permission checking and access to be done under a user different than the user doing the transition. This allows the workflow designer more flexibility to do actions for the user that they normally would not be able to do outside of the workflow. Tip: How to act on an issue for the assignee.

Subtask default handling

create subtask

Recommend to not select this option unless needed. Select to have JIRA default subtask create handling applied. Selecting this may override settings provided in the create configuration like setting fix versions. Defaulting behavior will be similar to how subtasks are created from the UI.

Example scenarios where you may need this:

• You need a create listener to access the issue parent

• You have a post function on the create issue transition than needs access to the parent

Environment

Set the environment field

Notes

Allows the workflow designer to document the post function
