I would like to create a new transition in a workflow but only Automation for Jira can execute this transition.
which type of condition/validation should be used?

Thanks,

Hi Samuel,

You might also try the Hide transition from user condition. It should still execute with Automation For Jira but be sure to test it out.

Try adding a condition for users in a Group. Then select atlassian-addons-admin

Hello @Samuel Bar you can add a condition to the transition that can only be done by a certain user or role. You would add the user assigned to automation and that should do it

Thanks for your answer.

How do I know which user was assigned to the Automation?

I'm not in front of the computer to add a screenshot but you should find that where you setup the automation rule name

Actually you might just try the add-ons user. That should also accomplish it and not have to specifically use the Automation user name.

HI,

The only thing that is show is the "Actor" - "Automation app user".

I cannot find the actual user in the user management
