      Issue

      Currently, automation triggers such as "Issue Created" or "Field value changed" does not come with a JQL query condition to decide which issues the rule should action on:

      The JQL condition can only be checked later on in the automation rule, by adding an IF block.

      The problem is that, on large Jira instance where lots of issues are created and updated, automation rules using these triggers will be triggered a huge amount of times, even though no action needs to be done if the issues don't pass the JQL condition in the IF block. This could have some impact on the overall Automation for Jira performance.

      Suggestion

      Implement "conditional triggers" by incorporating a JQL condition within the triggers, so that we can limit the number of time rules are triggered, potentially helping with overall automation performance.
