Fast-track transition issues assigned to the project lead

Use case

Workflows can be used guide tickets through your work process. But under specific circumstances you might want to skip some workflow steps.

In the following use case a newly created issue gets directly transitioned to In Progress, if the ticket is assigned to the project lead.

Add the Transition issue post function to the create transition of the desired workflow.

Choose Current issue

Choose Transition to status

Choose In Progress as the status to be transitioned to.

%{issue.assignee} = %{issue.project.lead}

By using this conditional execution, the fast tracking does only take place, if the issue is assigned to the project lead.
