Post functions
Post functions
Post functions are used to carry out additional processing after a transition is performed. Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE) includes the following Post functions:
- Assign issue(s) — A workflow post-function that assigns the current issue or target issue(s) related to the current issue.
- Build-your-own (scripted) Post-function — This post-function allows you to run an Nunjucks template (script) when a transition is triggered. This can be used to create entirely custom own post functions.
- Clear fields — A workflow post function that clears the value of one or more fields of the current issue or issues related to the current issue.
- Comment issue(s) — A workflow post-function that creates a comment on the current issue or issues related to the current issue. The text of the comment to be created can be any simple text or a text with Nunjucks annotations.
- Copy comments to related issues — A workflow post-function that copies all comments, or just the latest comment, from the current issue to related issues (such as linked issues, Stories of an Epic, Epic of a Story, sub-tasks of an issue, issues returned by a Nunjucks Template, or a JQL search, etc.)
- Copy issue fields — A workflow post function that allows you to copy the values of one or more fields from the current issue or related issue(s) or a set of filtered issues to the specified destination issue(s).
- Create issue(s) — A workflow post function that creates one or more new issue(s). The specifications of the issue(s) to be created can be customized using the options provided.
- Delete issue(s) — A workflow post-function that deletes one or more issues
- Display Message to User — A workflow post-function that displays a message on the issue view page to the user triggering the transition.
- Email issue — A post-function that sends a notification email about the current issue or issues related to the current issue.
- Increase value of field — A workflow post-function that increases the value of a selected numerical field by one.
- Link issues to the current issue — A post-function that will link the current issue to all issues that satisfy a parameterized JQL query.
- Log Work — A workflow post function that adds to the Worklog for the current issue or issues related to the current issue.
- Return to Previous Status — A workflow post-function that moves an issue back to its previous status (the status it had before its current status).
- Send Slack message — A workflow post function that sends a message to Slack - to selected channel or channels, or to specific users.
- Sequence of Post-functions — A post function that runs a sequence of JMWE post functions on the current issue (or issues related to the current issue). Using this post function is the safest way of guaranteeing that a series of post-functions run in a predictable order during a transition - it is easier and more reliable than using Delayed execution on each post function (as was previously recommended).
- Set entity property value — A workflow post-function that sets the value of an entity property of the current issue, current issue's project or current user. The value can be provided either as text (with optional Nunjucks annotations) or as a JSON value.
- Set issue fields — A workflow post function that sets the value of a selected field of the current issue or issues related to the current issue. The value can be provided either as text (with optional Nunjucks annotations) or as a JSON value.
- Set Issue Security Level — A workflow post-function that sets the Security Level of the current issue based on the project role to which the current user belongs.
- Set field value from User Entity Property value — A workflow post-function that sets the value of a selected field of the current issue to the value of a User Property of the current user.
- Shared Action post-function — A post function that runs an Action (a sequence of one or more JMWE post-functions), created in the Shared Actions page, on the current issue or issues related to the current issue.
- Transition issue(s) — A workflow post-function that triggers a transition on the current issue or issue related to the current issue. This can be used to move an issue one step further in the workflow.
- Unlink issues from the current issue — A post-function that will unlink issues from the current issue based on the result of a Nunjucks condition.
