Perform As User
Perform As User is a configuration option in JSU post functions. It lets you choose the user who acts on the post function when it runs. When choosing a user account to run a post function, the specified user account must have the appropriate permissions to perform the actions, such as creating an issue or adding a comment.
Copy fields
Example
A workflow rule is configured so the Resolve transition uses the Copy Value From Other Field post function. The value of the Assignee field is copied from the origin issue to the ‘TextField' field in all the issue’s subtasks. If a user resolves an issue on this workflow, the value of the Assignee field will be copied to the 'TextField' field after the issue is resolved.
