JMWE Cloud: How to retrieve the transition details from a post-function

In some scenarios, it may be necessary to identify the transition that triggered a JMWE post function. For example, Shared actions can be used in multiple transitions, or multiple transitions can change the status of a work item from status A to status B.

 Instructions

The transition object can be used to retrieve transition details.

  1. You can obtain the workflow details using either of the following snippets of Nunjucks code:

    {{transition.workflowName}} {{transition.workflowId}}
  2. For the transition details:

    {{transition.transitionId}} {{transition.transitionName}}
  3. For the statuses of the work item before and after the transition (Note: both of these are objects, as documented here) :

    {{transition.from_status}} {{transition.to_status}}

Due to limitations with Jira APIs, the workflow and transition names are unavailable in Event-based Actions.
