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 'Value Field' condition 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 since the name, or string, of an option may change over time, the ID does not. If a field can have several values (like components), matching one value is sufficient to pass the check.

Configuration

You must specify the field and value that will be the prerequisite for the check.

Example configuration of the Value Field condition as described on this page.

If you choose the comparison type String, only '=' and '!='are valid options. 
You can leave the value empty and choose comparison type '!=', to specificy 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'. 
For 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 that the 'Start Progress' transition has the 'Value Field' condition 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.
