« Hide

"One additonal improvement to conditions, permissions and customisations to workflows would be to allow combinations of transition conditions to use AND, OR and NOT logic.

Presently, each time a condition is added to a transition, Jira uses the AND logic.

Two additional handy conditions would be:

"progressor belongs to same group(s) as:

reporter
assignee
resolver"

and

"User is NOT in Group"

These permission/conditions would of course have to be applied with care (for a reporter, assignee and resolver can and often do belong to multiple groups).

The permission and conditions could be implemented as customisations, but it would be much nicer if they came standard."

OSWorkflow allows for the OR condition (http://www.opensymphony.com/osworkflow/3.7%20Conditions.html). You can currently use this though the XML must be manually editied.

Hi Nick,

Would you please give us more directions on what's the XML file needed to be edited and what changes have to be made so it's possible to use 'OR' logic conditions instead of only 'AND' ones?

Thanks in advance,

João Paulo.

You will need to change the "type" attribute of the "conditions" tag from AND to OR:

<conditions type="AND">
   <condition type="class">
      <arg name="class.name">com.atlassian.jira.workflow.condition.PermissionCondition</arg>
      <arg name="permission">Resolve Issue</arg>
   </condition>
   <condition type="class">
      <arg name="class.name">com.atlassian.jira.workflow.condition.PermissionCondition</arg>
      <arg name="permission">Close Issue</arg>
   </condition>
</conditions>

Changing the type from AND to OR is possible in JIRA 3.6.

OS Workflow, the workflow engine JIRA uses does not currently support NOT operator. If you need support for the operator please create a new feature request.

Thanks,
Anton

Very nice, Anton.

Now, I'm just waiting for JRA-2753 to be resolved =)

Thanks a lot.
