Cloud Migration Resources
Planning a Jira Cloud migration? These resources can help you get started:
→ JSU Cloud features – Review Cloud features and understand key differences between DC and Cloud.
→ Migration support from Appfire – Learn how we can help you migrate smoothly.
Value Field precondition
This is the JSU for Jira Data Center documentation. If you are using JSU for Jira Cloud, see the JSU Cloud documentation.
Description
The Value Field precondition compares the current value of a field against a predefined value. It can compare strings, numbers, or option IDs. For select fields, you can compare either by string or option ID. The ID may be preferable, as the label of an option may change over time; the ID remains constant. If a field can have several values (like components), only one of the values is required to match.
Configuration
You must specify the field and value that will be the prerequisite for the check.
If you choose the comparison type String, only '=' and '!=' are valid options.
You may leave the value empty and choose comparison type '!=', to tell that a given field is required for the condition.
For date fields without time, use the format 'yyyy-MM-dd' for values, and for those with time 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm'.
Example February 12th 2014: 2014-02-12, at 8:05 AM: 2014-02-12 08:05, at 4 PM: 2014-02-12 16:00.
Example
A workflow is configured so the 'Start Progress' transition has the 'Value Field' check set to 'MultiSelect' = '10021' (option ID). A user viewing an issue in that workflow will not see the 'Start Progress' transition unless 'MultiSelect' has at least the option with ID '10021' chosen.
You can configure JSU’s preconditions in the following ways:
Negate the precondition result
Combine the result with the result of previous preconditions using the following options:
Discard the result of the previous precondition: Results of the previous preconditions are not taken into account
AND: All of the preconditions have to be true to execute the post function
OR: Only one of the preconditions has to be true to execute the post function
Learn more in Workflow preconditions.
Supported field types
JSU supports various field types, including system fields and custom fields. However, not all field types are supported, and not in all combinations. We aim to cover the most important field types and continuously add and improve support for different field types. Some custom fields of other third-party apps might never be supported.
