JMWE Workflow Extensions

The JMWE workflow extensions section of the JMWE Administration pages lists all of the workflow extensions that have been created in your Jira instance. From this administration page, you can perform multiple actions on the extensions, such as activate or deactivate them; view statistics including when it was last modified, its last run log, and any errors and/or warnings; and access a shortcut to edit the extension. The page consists of two primary sections - the workflow selector and the extension list. Additionally, new extensions can be created using the Create new button to the right of the workflow selector.

Workflow selector

The primary filter for the Workflow Extensions page is the workflow selector. Selecting a workflow will display only the extensions that have been added to that workflow.

Create new

The Create new button can be used to add a new extension to a workflow directly from the JMWE workflow extensions administration page. When you click the button, the Create new extension dialog will appear (Figure 2, right); select the Project, the Workflow, and the Transition to which you want to add the extension and click Submit.

You will be redirected to the transition editor screen for the selected transition where you can add the new extension.

Extension list

The extension list contains the following columns:

• Enabled - Directly enable or disable the extension.

• Name & Extension ID - The name and ID of the extension. The ID value can be used to filter the JMWE logs.

• Transition - The workflow transition to which the extension has been added.

• Type - Condition, Post-function, or Validator.

• Executions - Lists the number of errors or warnings within the last 24 hours.

• Action menu - Click to open a menu with specific actions for the Scheduled Action:

  • Edit - Open the Shared Action Editor to update the action.
