Skip post function with the condition in Jira data center

[G P N]

I have a post function using divinti for adding the user to AD group. I want to skip this post function with condition. It only executes when condition matches or else it skips the divinti post function. I am using Jira Data center. Will this works?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @G P N 

Another alternative is to set up two workflow transitions with the same from and two destination statuses.

In one of those transitions set a Condition that matches what you want to apply. In only that transition include the Deviniti post function.

In the other transition have a Condition that is the opposite of the first transition, and do not include the Deviniti post function, but otherwise make it identical to the first transition.

The first transition will be available when the Condition is met, and the Deviniti post function will execution.

If you set up the Condition in the second transition correctly then it will be available only when the first transition's Condition is not met. And then the Deviniti post function is not executed.

Does that make sense? Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you for your time. In my scenario it goes to the next status after the approval is done. Will the transitions works here? I tried it but the new transition I have added to the destination status. It is showing the destination without approval. 

Hope you get my query!

Thank you!

Jira post-function call doesn't have condition logic process.  Since you are referring to Deviniti (third party add-on), you should contact vendor's support https://deviniti.com/support/ for further technical assistance.

In addition, have you explore the Automation for Jira where you can setup automation rule(s) which are triggered of with certain events (i.e. When issue is transitioned etc..).  In the rule setup, you can establish the conditional logic and then the action to perform against the issue or sending JSON payload to the targeted application for further processing.

Hope this also helps.

Best, Joseph

Hi @G P N 

Jira does not support conditions directly on post-functions. I think you are using a Deviniti  app and to add user to an AD group.

If Deviniti's post-function doesn’t include its own conditional execution, then it will always run. I think it would be best to contact Deviniti's support to see if they can add a conditional execution feature for that post-function.
