In version 5.3.0 we have added new trigger type: Workflow
This trigger type is dedicated for an issue creation based on issue transition. In the last step of the wizard you can specify after which transition you want to create new issue.
You need to remember it affects all issues matching the criteria within project, use it wisely.
Here is an example of workflow (Easy Agile Scrum Workflow For Jira), assigned to issue types "bug" and "story'.
Let's say we want to create a new Task when issue type Story is transitioned from status "In Review" to "Done".
In the first step of the wizard, we need to select issue type Task, in the second step wee need to fill all the details.
In the third step we need to:
- Choose issue type: Story
- Pick the source status name: In Review
- Pick desired targeted status: Done
Notice:
- the targeted status is showing only statuses that are available for transitioning from source status
- there is a check box allowing to select all of the available transition
- if you like 2/3 options you can add 2 workflow triggers
When you add the trigger you will see the trigger summary:
There is no Execution preview because issue creation is reactive to issue transition.
After saving this scheduled issue you will see the details page, with trigger definition
Now, lets see it in action: Transitioning 'Story' created new 'Task', it is visible in Execution History of Scheduled Issue:
