Build-your-own (Nunjucks 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.
To add the 'Build-your-own (Nunjucks scripted)' 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.
Click Add post function.
Select Build-your-own (scripted) Post-function from the list of post function.
Click Add to navigate to the Build-your-own (Nunjucks scripted) Post-function screen where you can add configuration details. See below for more information.
Click on Add to add the post function to the transition.
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.
Custom script
Configure your custom script:
Description - Give the post function a meaningful description.
Nunjucks script - Enter the script that should be executed when the post function runs.
Advanced options
Expand this section to see advanced configurations including delayed execution.
Delayed execution
Post functions are provided with an option to delay execution for a set number of seconds using the Delayed execution option (Figure 1, right). To delay execution, select the number of seconds to wait until the post-function is run; any value between 1 second (the default) up to a maximum of 20 seconds can be selected.
Workflows that depend on post functions being executed in a specific order can fail due to the asynchronous nature of Connect post-functions in Jira Cloud. One workaround is to delay the execution of a post-function, thereby creating a more predictable execution order. For example, on the approval of a Story you want to create sub-tasks and immediately transition them; in this case, you will have to delay the execution of the Transition Linked Issues post-function, so that the sub-tasks are created before they are transitioned. See the sample use case, below.
Where possible, it is recommended to use the Sequence of post-functions post-function or Shared action post-function to execute a series of post-functions in a specific sequence instead of applying a delay.
