Platform Notice: Cloud - This article applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.

Summary

Currently, it's not possible to configure 'per transition' automation triggers in cases of multiple transitions with identical 'from' and 'to' statuses. The 'Issue transitioned' trigger only allows 'From status' and 'To status' selection.


Solution

  • Step 1: Add post function in the workflow 
    • For each transition between the same source and destination, add a post function to update the transition name in a custom field using the '
  • Step 2: Structure the automation rule as suggested below:
    • Trigger: Field Value Changed
      • For: Transition Issue

    • New condition: If/Else condition
      • Select Issue Field condition and compare the static values which were added using post functions
      • Select the next action accordingly
