How to set workflow to register data on JIRA?

[NORBERTUS WUSANA]

Hello, I am currently plan to set the flow/process to register some row data (such as A, B, C, D, etc). On another flow/process, i need to call those option data. Anyone have solutions or experienced this?

Hi Norbertus,

Yes, you should be able to edit the workflow and add a Post function to the transition to the status that you want the field to be set. You could also do this by creating an Automation rule.

Which post function?

Update Issue Custom Field.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by “Row Data”?

Without more context, my guess is you are trying to set custom fields to specific vale’s at certain points in your workflow.

Let me know if this is what you are trying to do or if it is something else altogether.

For example, we have Field A with value (Option 1, Option 2, Option 3, and Option 4) with dropdown concept. For now, we set those option on field setting (manually).

Is there any chance for us to fill in the Option 1, Option 2, Option 3, Option 4, and Option 5 etc by using workflow? So we don't need to open Field A setting and manage the value/options manually.

Thank you

Depending on the Complexity of what you are trying to do, you can do this in one of two ways:

1. Automation for Jira
   1. You can set the Trigger to Transition
   2. Then have the Action be to update the Custom Field value
2. You can use a Workflow Post Function
   1. Here you can set the value of a custom field on Transition

The simplicity of option 2 is great if there is no specific conditional logic that needs to be applied.  If you are looking be more clever, Automation for Jira has a lot of power to evaluate conditions on whether a custom field should be set.

This is a very simple example of how you might set a Due Date, but of course you can change that to the Custom field you want to set - https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library/rules#/rule/1357190
