Status Changed Precondition
This is the documentation of JSU for Jira Server/Data Center. If you are using JSU on Jira Cloud, see our JSU Cloud documentation.
Description
The Status Changed precondition check returns true if the status of the issue will be changed when executing the current transition. Use this to prevent ‘Any Status’ transitions from being displayed when the transition does not change the current issue status, for example, a transition ‘Start Progress’ when the status is currently IN PROGRESS.
Configuration
The Status Changed precondition does not have any configurable options.
Example
A ‘From Any Status' workflow transition is configured so that the 'Start Progress' transition will change the status from any issue status to IN PROGRESS. The 'From Any Status' transition will be available in all statuses, however, you may want to prevent the 'Start Progress' transition from being displayed when the issue is already in the status IN PROGRESS. When using the 'Status Changed’ condition, the 'Start Progress' transition will not be available when the issue is in the status IN PROGRESS.
