Send an mail notification when a custom field is updated in the Edit screen

s.balerin

I would like to send an email mail notification when a custom field is updated in the "Edit" screen. here is what I did:

1. Create an event named "Custom field changed"

2. Add this event to my notification scheme

3. Created a "Backup" field that stores "My Custom Field" when modified.

4. Created a "Trans" transition with a condition ("My Custom Field" != "Backup") and 2 post-functions: Fire an event + set "backup" to "My Custom Field" 

It is all working fine except that I need to click on the "Trans" button to make it work. Is there a way to make this transition automatic or to do what I need  differently. Thanks in advance!    

PS: I have installe the JMWE plugin/addon

Hello @s.balerin 

For this kind of task I would strongly recommend the Automation for Jira plugin. For your problem, I created your notification on field update in two simple steps as you can see below:

This will make your solution completly automatic, otherwise I am afraid you have to stick with your manual solution. I hope that this solves your issue! 

Best regards,

Alexander
