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.
