Rules help you streamline your team's process by automatically updating fields when you move issues through your workflow. Workflow rules can automatically update an issue's fields, or limit the people who can use a certain transition in your workflow, and more. Read more about workflows in team-managed projects.
Currently, we have the following workflow rules:
Assign an issue to someone
Update an issue field
- Restrict who can move an issue
- Remind people to update empty fields
- Check that an issue has been through a status
For each transition, you can have up to:
- 10 groups of Restrict transition rules, with 50 rules for each group
- 50 Validate details rules
- 50 Perform actions rules
Learn more about each rule and see examples of how you might use them.
