Set a Jira Expressions transition validator through API

Gergana.Damyanova

Hi, I want to set some transition validators using Jira Expressions.

Currently I'm doing it with a an add-on, which is in trial period. 
I guess when the trial is over, if we decide not to switch to the paid version, the validators I set will vanish (if someone has another information, please let me know).

I saw in the Atlassian Documentation that there is a way to analyse and evaluate Jira Expressions through the API , but didn't see a way to set a Jira Expression as a validator using the API.

Any advice and guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Gergana.Damyanova ,

As co-founder of a vendor who has an app for this in the marketplace, I really hope your team will go for the paid version. I vaguely remember you saying you're using Cloud Workflows – if that is correct you can also contact the team and me directly if you have any questions or concerns about the app.

That being said, as far as I know your validators will continue to work even after the trial period is over. However, you will definitely loose the ability to edit the underlying expressions or create new validators/conditions with our app. I am not 100% sure, but reasonably sure that this the same for the other apps in the marketplace.

As for using an API: Unfortunately, there is no REST API endpoint to create or edit arbitrary Jira Expression-based conditions/validators. Currently, you'll need an app for this – either one from the marketplace or something you develop and maintain yourself.

Hope that helps,
 Oliver
