This post-function allows you to run an Nunjucks template (script) when a transition is triggered. This can be used to create entirely custom own post functions.

To add the 'Build-your-own (scripted)' post function to a transition: 

  1. Click Edit for the workflow that has the transition to which you wish to add the post function.

  2. In the Workflow Designer, select the transition.

  3. Click Post Functions in the properties panel.

  4. Click Add post function.

  5. Select Build-your-own (scripted) Post-function from the list of post function.

  6. Click Add to navigate to the Build-your-own (scripted) Post-function screen where you can add configuration details. See below for more information.

  7. Click on Add to add the post function to the transition. 

JMWE shows an error message on the issue view if any error occurs during the execution of the post-function. This message is displayed only if the current user is a Jira administrator. 

Custom script

Configure your custom script:

  • Description - Give the post function a meaningful description.

  • Nunjucks script - Enter the script that should be executed when the post function runs.
