Workflow Post Function

Run scripts after a workflow transition completes. One per script (singleton).

A Workflow Post Function trigger executes your script every time an issue transitions through a specific workflow step. The script runs after the transition is complete, so the issue is already in its new status.

Setup

1. Save a script in the Library
2. Go to the Config tab - Triggers
3. Add Trigger - select Workflow Post Function
4. Save the script
5. In Jira Administration - Workflows, edit the desired workflow
6. Select the transition you want to hook into
7. Add the JiBrok Studio - Run Script post function
8. Select the configured script from the dropdown

Context Variables

The following variables are available in workflow post function scripts:

Variable	Type	Description
issue	object	The issue that transitioned (auto-loaded)
issueKey	string	Issue key (e.g. "PROJ-123")
event.issue	object	Compact issue data (id, key)
event.transition	object	Transition details (see below)
currentUser	object	Current user info

Transition Object

Property	Type	Description
event.transition.from_status	string	Status before transition
event.transition.to_status	string	Status after transition
event.transition.transitionName	string	Name of the transition

Run As (Actor Resolution)

The script runs with the actor configured on the script. If no specific actor is set, the identity is resolved in this order:

1. If set to Application - runs with app-level permissions
2. If set to a specific user - runs as that user
3. Otherwise - uses the Jira user who performed the transition (atlassianId from the event)
4. Fallback - runs as Application

Limits

Limit	Value
Max execution time	15,000 ms
Max API calls	40
Max pending promises	30
Max loop iterations	50,000

Example

// Log the transition details
log("Issue:", issueKey)
log("From:", event.transition.from_status, "->", event.transition.to_status)
log("Transition:", event.transition.transitionName)

// Auto-assign when moving to "In Progress"
if (event.transition.to_status === "In Progress" && !issue.fields.assignee) {
  const me = await Users.current()
  await Issues.get(issueKey).assign(me.accountId)
  log("Auto-assigned to:", me.displayName)
}

// Add a comment when issue is done
if (event.transition.to_status === "Done") {
  await Issues.get(issueKey).addComment(
    Adf.doc(
      Adf.paragraph(
        "Issue resolved via transition ",
        Adf.bold(event.transition.transitionName)
      )
    )
  )
}
