What is the "Universal Post Function"?

The “Universal Post Function” offered by Workflow Enhancer allows you to conditionally execute other system or app post functions. The selected post function will execute only if the boolean expression checking the values of any issue fields or properties of the user performing the transition evaluates to the selected boolean expression (true or false).

Note that some of the provided post functions in Jira have unintuitive functionality:

  • Create a comment: If comment was added in the transition screen, it will be added again.

  • Update Issue Status: Will update the issue status after transition, although it was already changed.

  • Create Issue: Recreates the issue, e.g., previously there is an issue "TEST-4 - A task", but after the post function transition executes it becomes "TEST-5 - A task"

In the future we might decide to hide these post functions.

If you add a post function to the create transition, it must happen before the “Creates the issue originally.
