Is there a maximum number of post functions for a transition?

[Rebecca Allen]

I have been asked to automate assignments of all issues.  In order to do this, I will need to use approximately 60 post functions in each of 4 workflows.

Technically, there is no significant limit, you can add hundreds.

I would question why you're adding so many though, there may be a better approach, and I would avoid putting many on a single transition too.

[Rebecca Allen]

It just has to be in the first transition.  Then it functions as defined.

I don't know if there is a limit, but that sounds unmanageable. 

Maybe use a combination of post functions in the workflows with automation? 

[Bastian Stehmann]

I fully agree with John, if you need this number of post-functions, you won't be able to handle this any more.

And besides that, this will probably decrease your performance.

Maybe you can elaborate a little bit more, what exactly you want to do.

[Rebecca Allen]

I need to auto-assign the issue to a user for review upon creation.  We have 3 workflows handled by 1 issue type workflow scheme

[Bastian Stehmann]

But why do you need so many post-functions then? If you want to assign one user, it should be only one post-function.

[Rebecca Allen]

There are multiple criteria to determine a user and there are 32 users. 

[John Funk]

Can you share a little more information? There might be a better way to accomplish it besides multiple post functions. Maybe an example?

Thank you - I managed to add the assignment to a manual process temporarily and will use scriptrunner to make the other adjustments.  Thank you for confirming that this was not the right way to go.
