Why can't I see the Conditions, Validators, Triggers tab on the transition?

Question

I have installed my own JIRA Software, and trying to set up perfect workflow for my project. The problem is that I don't see conditions, triggers, a validator for transitions. I can see Properties only. What's going on? How to switch on needed options?

Ok if triggers appear only if connected to git system. But what about others?

If one is using Jira Cloud, the triggers, conditions, validators, and post functions don't appear while using the new editor (which I actually like).  I had to switch to the old workflow editor and then I could see those options when I clicked on a transition.

I understand it's mentioned, however it's not obvious that "transition" means the little line with an arrow.

A screenshot would have been quite helpful.

Hello @Chris Shaffer

Thank you for your feedback, however, it is pointed in the documentation that those advanced options (Validators, conditions, post functions, etc) are related to transitions, not statuses:

Advanced workflow configuration

Anyway, we can always mislead some information in Jira documentation since it's a complex application with several details.

Let us know if you have any suggestions or tips to make it more clear.
