JSU for Jira Server/Data Center

This is the documentation for JSU for Jira Server/Data Center. If you are using JSU on Jira Cloud, see our JSU Cloud documentation.

Description

The ‘JQL' condition compares the number of issues returned from the JQL query against predefined conditions such as:

  • Must find at least one issue

  • Must not find any issue

  • Compare with a particular number 

Configuration

Write your required JQL expression and choose one option for the number of issues found. For example, Number of issues must > 2.

Example configuration of the JQL condition as described on this page.

For more information on how conditions work in Jira, see Atlassian’s Advanced Workflow Configuration documentation.

Examples

Is the Issue in the current sprint?
Sprint in openSprints() AND key = {issue.key}
In the IT department only the approver can perform the transition
approver = currentUser() OR component != "IT department"

Or in other words: The condition is valid if the current user is the user in the Approver field OR anything not belonging to the IT department. 

All other siblings must have status
parent = {issue.parent} AND key != {issue.key} AND status in (Resolved, Closed)

With parent = {issue.parent} we find all siblings of the current subtask. However, we want to exclude the current subtasks, so we add key != {issue.key}.
