Has anyone had any luck setting up a post function to update a field to check a box if a certain state is selected in a workflow. Example To In Progress Ready for Test On Hold - When on hold is selected - a box is checked in the issue screen that says "on hold" Done Suggestions?

Using JMWE, you can add a Set Field Value post-function to the transition, and configure it as such: * Field: your checkboxes field * Value type: leave as "Constant or Groovy Template" * Value: the name of the checkbox you want to check ("On hold"?) * Add source value(s) to destination field option: checked This will check the "On hold" checkbox (option) of the the checkboxes custom field, leaving other options (checkboxes) of that field untouched, if any.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Field: your checkboxes field
Value type: leave as "Constant or Groovy Template"
Value: the name of the checkbox you want to check ("On hold"?)
Add source value(s) to destination field option: checked

This will check the "On hold" checkbox (option) of the the checkboxes custom field, leaving other options (checkboxes) of that field untouched, if any.

What addons/apps does your instance have?

Hi @Renee Olson you can achieve this easily using Scripted Post-function if you have a Script Runner plugin. or you can update issue field using JSU Utility plugin

We're not using JSU.

The script runner option appears to be for a sub-task. I'm looking to have a field on the main task/issue updated.

JMWE is what I use for workflows. I am trying to use the configure field option to tell it to check the box at a specific status in the WF
