How-to use Metadata Workflow Postfunctions

Starting with version 4.8.0, Jira admins can choose from three workflow postfunctions

Through our three Postfunctions you can:

  • Copy a project-related Metadata value to a field of the issue

  • Copy an assignee-related Metadata value to a field of the issue

  • Copy a reporter-related Metadata value to a field of the issue

If there is an error during the postfunction, the error is written to the server logs and the transition will not be interrupted.
