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.
When you add this post-function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on copies the value of the specified user property for the current user to the selected destination field. The user property is used to store extra information about a user. These properties come from the User properties editor
page in the Add-ons
section. These properties are different from the User Properties
you can edit from the User Management
section. To add/edit user properties of a user, see the Add/edit/delete user entity properties in User property editor page.
To add the 'Set field value from User Entity Property value' post function to a transition:
Click Edit for the workflow that has the transition to which you wish to add the post-function.
In the Workflow Designer, select the transition.
Click Post Functions in the properties panel (or select the Post Functions tab).
Click Add post function.
Select Set field value from User Entity Property value from the list of post functions.
Click Add. The Set field value from User Entity Property value post-function screen will open, where you can configure the post function as needed. See below for more details on specific configurations.
Click Add to complete the configuration and add the post-function.
After adding, move the post-function to the appropriate position according to Placing post-functions in a transition document.
JMWE shows an error message on the issue view if any error occurs during the execution of the post-function. This message is displayed only if the current user is a Jira administrator.
