JQL-Based Conditions, Validators and Post Functions
Some Conditions, Validators and Post functions use the JQL-selected issues to check, validate or update them.
These elements are:
Conditions
- Related Issues Field Value condition
- Number of issues having same field value
- Number of Related Issues (links, subtasks or JQL-based)
Validators
- Related Issues Field Value validator
- Number of Issues with the same field value
- Number of related issues validator
Post Functions
- Set field value of related issues
- Copy field value to related issues
- Transition related issues
- Delete Related Issues
JQL - based feature works as described below.
Working with related issues
Related issues can be selected by using two inputs:
Issue Relation - where you can choose a relation with the current (transitioned) issue;
JQL - you can put your JQL text to filter some issues from the results. If you leave the JQL Field empty, all issues in a given relation are taken into account.
In the example above you wanted to execute a workflow function on subtasks of the current issue and take additionally only the ones with the "Sub-task" and priority="High" type.
Tags
In the JQL field you can put some text tags to be replaced with actual values of the current (transitioned) issue:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
$$CURRENT_DATETIME$$ | The current date and time. |
| $$CURRENT_USER$$ | The name (login) of the current user. |
| $$ISSUEKEY$$ | The key of the current issue. |
| $$ISSUEID$$ | ID of the current issue. |
| $$REPORTER$$ | The current issue reporter's name. |
$$ASSIGNEE$$ | The current issue assignee's name |
| $$PROJECTKEY$$ | The project key. |
| $$CURRENT_STATUS$$ | The current issue status. |
| $$ISSUETYPE$$ | The issue type. |
| $$CREATED_DATE$$ | The date when the issue was created. |
$$CURRENT_STATUS_CATEGORY$$ | A status category of the current issue (To Do, In Progress or Done). |
| $$TRANSITION_NAME$$ | The name of an actual transition (doesn't work in Conditions) |
| $$TRANSITION_ID$$ | ID of an actual transition (doesn't work in Conditions). |
| $$TRANSITION_COMMENT$$ | The content of a transition comment (doesn't work in Conditions). |
The JQL field has a built-in validation feature. If your query is incorrect, you will see a red sign next to the JQL field and an error description as shown below:
