JMWE comes with a diverse collection of point-and-click tools you can configure without code. However, with our build-your-own workflow conditions, validators, and post-functions - powered by our simple-to-use scripting editor and tester - you can build virtually unlimited use cases. For coding enthusiasts, the options are truly limitless.

No coding experience? No problem! See how easy it is to set up JMWE's "Build-your-own (scripted) Condition" without 'typing' a single line of code.


For your convenience, the steps from the above video have been outlined below.

Enable the transition only for Medium-priority issues

  • First, select the transition you want to add the condition to.
  • Choose the Build-your-own (scripted) condition and press Add.
  • In the “Select a field”, select “Priority”. Select a snippet issue.priority.name == "Blocker" and then change the priority from "Blocker" to "Medium".

Build your own user case

  • You can test Jira expressions against any issue by pressing the “Test Jira expression” button.

Your Jira expression ran successfully

  • If it works as expected (as above), add the condition, and you are all done.

See it all in action in the video above.
