Transition PostFunction not firing

[Declan Gallagher]

Hi,

I have a Transition PostFunction that is not firing.

1. A user creates a Task Sub Task, it goes to Status:New via Transition from Create

2. I have a PostFunction on that Transition, for SubTasks, which is not firing.

Any pointers, or how I can debug?

Thanks

Got this working

I used the PostFunction plugin Transition issue (JMWE add-on)

This allows you to add a Groovy script as a condition.

Wanted to transition all newly created sub-tasks to the same status (non complete) as their parent task.

Thanks

if(issue.parentObject !=null){
 if(issue.parentObject.statusObject.name.equals("Some Status")){
 return true
 }
}
return false

Try setting this post function AFTER the "Re-index an issue to keep indexes in sync with the database." post function.

@Ivan Tovbin

Tried that, same result, still not firing the transition.

Thanks

Fortunately I've got JWT installed in my test instance, so I've had the chance to test it myself and it does work just fine.

That said I can see a couple of possible reasons as to why it doesn't work for you:

1) The 'Current user' doesn't have the permission to execute the transition you wanna use in your post function.

2) That transition has conditions which are not met, preventing it from being executed.

3) I can't clearly see your post function on the screenshot you have uploaded, but it appears that you want to execute it conditionally based on a boolean expression. Perhaps the expression's conditions are not met or there's some syntax problem with it.

4) May be you've picked the transition you wanna execute wrong? Given that JWT lists ALL of your available transitions across ALL workflows in your instance, I'd say it's a possibility.

@Ivan Tovbin thanks for your help.

Still not working for me, I'll play around more see if I can get it going.

Do you know if there is logs I can check.

Thanks

I can perform the. operation manually.

Create a new Task, transition it to the required step.

Ref your reasons.

1. It does

2. Its does

3. Removed the condition to test

4. Correct transition

If I use below, it works, but doesn't have the ability to add conditions.

So not fit for my needs, but it implements my requiremenst.

Thanks
