How to configure this rule
...
Create a draft of your project workflow. If you're unsure how to get to this page, follow the onboarding steps in Edit a Jira Workflow. You can then view your workflow in Text or Diagram mode. The steps in this use case represent Text mode.
Select the transition for which you want to run the post function. In this case, we
choose the "Done" transition. Go to the post function tab and click to add post function and then choose the "are using the
transition.Status colour Green title done 
Select the Post Functions tab, then select Add Post Function.
Select the Update any issue field
"(JSU) post function
from JSU. Finally click add, then click Add.
Because we want to perform this post function
to performonly for Epics, we
willneed to configure a precondition.
Therefore, we setSet the precondition to be
true at the beginning of the post function configurationTrue. In this transition, you want to have your Epic status updated to
"done". Fill out the fields and click add.
.Status colour Green title done Complete the required fields to configure the post function:
Update field on all issues related:
Within same issueIssue Field:
Epic statusField Value:
Done
Now it's time to create your precondition to prevent errors when the workflow is used
toon non-Epic issues. Click
to add post function and choose the "Value field" precondition. Configure your precondition by choosing Issue type to be equal to Epic and make sure the comparison type is "String". You can now add your precondition. Don't forget toAdd Precondition then click Add next to the Value Field precondition.
Set Issue type =
Epic.
Select Add at the bottom of the configuration page, then publish your workflow.
Now
check what you have achieved with JSU. Your Epictest your new post function with some test issues. Your epic is currently visible on the
Backlog. Turn your Epic to "Done"backlog; move your epic to
and go back to your BacklogStatus colour Green title done backlog. Your
Epic doesn't show up any more!
