Set fields

The Set fields section determines which fields will have their values set, and the values to use. The section includes two parts - the Add field menu where you select issue fields, and the list of fields that have been configured for your post-function.

• Add field - Select a field from the pulldown menu to open a configuration panel (Figure 2, right).

The Add field configuration panel (Figure 2, right) enables configuration of the field value.

• Field - The field being configured.

• Options - Select additional options for the field:

  • Set only if field is empty - Set the field value only if the field is currently empty.

  • Create missing values - Create missing Components, Versions, or Options in the destination project. Only applies to compatible fields.

  • Ignore empty values - Don’t clear the field if the value is empty or null.

  • Add source value(s) to destination field - Add values from the source field to the destination field. Applies only to multi-valued fields.

  • Remove source value(s) to destination field - Remove values in the source field from the destination field.

• Field value - Configure the value for the field when it is set by the post-function. The value can be any value returned by either a Groovy Script or a Groovy Template.

The table of fields includes a few columns:

• Field name - The name of the configured field.

• Options - A list of any options selected during configuration.

• Value - The Groovy script or template that returns the field’s value.

• Actions

  • Edit () - Use the Edit button to open the Edit field configuration panel where an existing field configuration can be modified. Click Update to save the new configuration

  • Delete () - Remove the field from the post-function.

Global options

Set the behavior of the post-function.

• Send notifications - Enable Jira to send notifications when it executes.

Conditional Execution

In addition to the Assignment behavior settings, it is possible to configure the post-function to execute (or not execute) only in specific circumstances. The Condition execution options set these behaviors.

The options are:

• Only if condition is true - Check this option to execute the post-function based on the result of a groovy expression. See Conditional execution/validation using a Groovy expression for more information.

  • Condition - Enter a Groovy expression that evaluates to true or false (or truthiness/falseness).
