1. Log in to your Jira instance as an Administrator.

3. In the left-hand sidebar, click Workflows.

4. From the list of Workflows, click Actions ( ) for the appropriate workflow and select Edit.

5. Edit the transition:

   1. When viewing the Workflow in Diagram view (Figure 1, right), select the Issue Reopened transition (Point 1, Figure 1, right) and click the Post Functions link (Point 2, Figure 1, right). Click Add post function at the top of the list of existing post functions.

   2. When viewing the Workflow in Text view, click the Issue Reopened transition then select the Post Functions tab. Click Add post function at the top of the list of existing post functions.

   2. Set Project Role to the role you created for Developers.

3. Assignment behavior - Set as needed; Always is recommended.

4. Under Advanced options, set the following as needed:

   1. Run As - Set as needed; it is recommended to leave the default Add-on user value unless required for specific reasons.

   2. Run this post-function only if a condition is verified - Set as needed. See Conditional execution for more information.

   3. Delay the execution of this post-function - Set as needed.

5. Click Add.

Save and Test the Workflow

Save your Workflow and publish the changes. To test that the post function is configured correctly, create a new issue and move it through your Workflow, assigning it to a QA or support person (any member who is not in the Developer role) before closing it. After closing it, reopen it by moving it to the Reopened status and verify that JMWE has correctly assigned it.
