JMWE Post-Function not executing after a time period

[Eshwar Palem]

Hi,

So I am using the JMWE addon in our Jira Cloud and there is a requirement from our client like he wants to automate a transition when End date(Date picker Custom Field) will be passed i.e(If end date is 15-10-19 then on 16-10-19 the issue should be transitioned). Accordingly we have placed this post function on the transition before the target transition and condition is like now>issue.fields.customfield_10034 | dateadd(1,'days'). During testing the value is returning true but automation is not getting done after a time period. Can anyone help me to sort it out and let me know how to achieve this.

Note: Post function is placed at last.

I think I got the answer for this and what I have understood is basically Post function will be carried out as soon as its transition has been performed. From my case perspective, condition on that Post-function will always get failed and execution will not be performed, because once a post function has performed it would not look for the condition when it becomes true. I need to do this workaround by using Scriptrunner listener.

Hope this helps someone.

Actually, a listener won’t help you either because there will be nothing to listen to. What you want is a scheduled job that will run regularly and look for issues that have exceeded their End Date (using jql) and trigger the transition on them.

• Yes, you are right @David Fischer I was wrong. Escalation service is the solution for this. 👍
