Writing Conditions and Validators

Conditions and validators are important components in workflow customization. They have no side effects and are written in the Jira Expressions language, a subset of Javascript created by Atlassian.

Runtime User & Issue

Conditions and validators execute when the user activates a transition, and the issue is in scope.

Return Codes

Expressions must return a boolean statement, signaling the condition or validator passed the system check.

Validator Message

The validator message is static. It can be defined but not dynamically formatted.
