Further configuration
Fields
You have the possibility to set additional fields on the issue to be created.
Maybe you want to predefine the issue Assignee or a time estimation for time logging purposes.
Don't want to set the fields? You can also copy existing values from the current issue!
For further information, you might want to take a look at the Create issue documentation.
Issue links
This is an optional parameter where you can define issue links for the issue to be created.
Additional options
If you want to copy issue keys of created issues into the field Temporaty Text 3 as a text list, choose this option.
Conditional execution
To have the issues created randomly, enter the following expression:
modulus(round({system.currentDateTime}/random()*10),3) = 0
You can read more about the JWT expression parser functions used in the expression above:
Run as
Select which user will be used to execute this post function. By default this parameter is set to the current user. You can also use field codes to run the function as a dynamic user (e.g. current assignee).
Make sure that the user running the post function has all the relevant permissions to perform the actions defined in the configuration (e.g. "Update Issues")!
If you want to keep track the actions being performed automatically, we suggest to create a dedicated JWT account, granted all relevant permissions, and use it in the Run as parameter to identify which changes have been made with JWT.
