Post function or property

[Anna Debono]

Hi all,

I am preparing for the ACP-100 exam and came across a question which I am not sure of:

You need to make the following changes to an existing workflow:
1. A transition should only be available if code has been committed against the issue.
2. Only users in a specific project role can see a transition
3. Issues must not be commented on in a specific status.
4. The resolution should be set automatically.
5. A transition should send out a specific notification email

Apparently, this should be 1 condition, 1 validator, 1 post function, 2 properties. I cannot understand why it is 2 properties and not 2 post functions and 1 property. Here my train of thought:

1 = Validator

2 = Condition

3 = Property

4 = Post function

5 = Post function

Please help as I am losing my mind searching.

Thank you!

Anna

Ohh, I recognise that question, I think it's been translated from the original into an "easier to read" version and lost something in the process.

My answers match yours, and I've explained why:

1 = Validator.  Could technically be done with a condition, but a validator would be better because it can tell the user "there's no commit", whereas a condition just hides the option.

2 = Condition - definitely, the question states "user should not see the transition"

3 = Property - yes, you need a property to block comments in specific status

4 = Post function - yes resolutions would be automatically set with post-functions

5 = Post function - yes an email would be sent by a post-function

Apart from 3, I can't see how any of the others might be a property.  4 and 5 are definitely post functions.  I could, if I tried really hard, do 2 with a property, but that would leave you without a condition (or validator if you did 1 with a condition).

My best guess is someone has misunderstood option 4 when they were working with a board, and assumed that the ticking of the "set resolution here" option (only available in some places) sets a property.  It doesn't, it sets up post-functions.

Thank you. That is exactly what I thought but I was starting to doubt myself.
