Adding approval with email issue in jmwe.

[Döndü Türkmen]

I want to create a project that requires approval. I want to send an email to the administrator for approval using jmwe for approval. I want to use the workflow email issue post function for this.

Hi @Döndü Türkmen:

Glad you are using JMWE.  This is what I would recommend:

Statuses:

Initial Status -> Approval In Progress -> Approved

                                                            -> Rejected

- When you push the ticket from the Initial status to "Approval In Progress", you will add the postfunction in the transition to send the email to the admin: https://innovalog.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWE/pages/139896954/Email+Issue

-  Then when the ticket is in "Approval In Progress" status, I would add a condition to only allow the jira administrator to approve the request.  You don't want to allow anyone else approve the ticket. Do the same for the reject transition.
