Description

 

Configuration

 

Example

 

 

The JIRA Suite Utilities plugin provides three additional workflow conditions:

  • User Is In Any Groups
  • User Is In Any Roles (since version 1.4.8)
  • User Is In Custom field
  • Value Field

Please note, these conditions currently do not work well with labels.

For information on workflow conditions in JIRA, see the JIRA documentation.

On this page:

User Is In Any Groups Condition

Description

Adding the 'User Is In Any Groups' condition to a workflow transition means that a user cannot see that transition unless he is in one (not all) of the specified groups.
Note, there is a 'User Is In Group' condition in standard JIRA. However, this condition only lets you check the membership of the user against a single group.

Configuration

You must specify the groups that are the prerequisite for this transition, when configuring the condition. For example:

For information on how to configure a condition for a workflow transition in JIRA, see the JIRA documentation.

Example

A workflow is configured so that the 'Resolve' transition has the 'User Is In Any Groups' condition = 'jira-developers' group only. A user viewing an issue in that workflow will not see the 'Resolve' transition unless they are part of the 'jira-developers' group.

User Is In Any Roles Condition

Description

Adding the 'User Is In Any Roles' condition to a workflow transition means that a user cannot see that transition unless he is in one (not all) of the specified project roles.
Note, there is a 'User Is In Role' condition in standard JIRA. However, this condition only lets you check the membership of the user against a single proejct role.

Configuration

You must specify the roles that are the prerequisite for this transition, when configuring the condition. For example:

For information on how to configure a condition for a workflow transition in JIRA, see the JIRA documentation.

Example

A workflow is configured so that the 'Resolve' transition has the 'User Is In Any Roles' condition = 'SuperUser' project role only. A user viewing an issue in that workflow will not see the 'Resolve' transition unless he is having the 'SuperUser' project role.

User Is In Custom Field Condition

Description

Adding the 'User Is In Custom Field' condition to a workflow transition means that a user cannot see that transition unless they are (or are not) in the specified custom fields, (typically a multi select/user picker custom field) Note, this condition only applies to custom fields.

Configuration

You must specify the field that is the prerequisite for this transition, and whether the user must be in the custom field or not, when configuring the condition. For example:

For information on how to configure a condition for a workflow transition in JIRA, see the JIRA documentation.

Example

A workflow is configured so that the 'Close' transition has the 'User Is In Custom Field' condition where the user must be in the 'User Select' field. A user viewing an issue in that workflow will not see the 'Close' transition unless their username has been selected in the 'User Select' field.

Value Field Condition

Description

Adding the 'Value Field' condition to a workflow transition means that a user cannot see that transition unless a certain field is set to a specified value. The validation for the condition is able to compare strings, numbers or option id's. For select fields, you may compare either by string or option id, the latter may be better, as the label of an option may change over time, the id however does not.
If a field can have several values (like components), it is enough, if one of the values matches the condition.

Since version 1.4.10, date and date-time fields are also supported.

Configuration

You must specify the field and value that will be the prerequisite for the condition. For example:

For information on how to configure a condition for a workflow transition in JIRA, see the JIRA documentation.

Example

A workflow is configured so that the 'Start Progress' transition has the 'Value Field' condition set to 'MultiSelect' = '10021' (option id). A user viewing an issue in that workflow will not see the 'Start Progress' transition unless 'MultiSelect' has at least the option with id '10021' choosen.

Supported Field Types

JSU supports many different field types such as system fields and custom fields. However you should be aware, that not all field types are supported, and not in all combinations. We aim to cover the most important field types and are continuously adding and improving how different field types are supported. Some custom fields of other third-party apps might never be supported.

For that reason, you should always test anything you do with the JSU app with fields. You can try it with a free 30-day evaluation license.
