Introduction

Create on Transition for Jira provides workflow transition post functions that can be configured to create or update one or more issues or subtasks. It also offers Conditioned Validator that allows you to use powerful Jira expressions to validate workflow transitions. Using the app, you can set issue fields with values using easy-to-use pick lists and substitution variables. You can also configure optional rules and conditions to customize creating or updating issues and/or subtasks. Conditions may be based on information from either the original or parent issue. You can create multiple issues from a single Create Issue or Create Subtask post function or update multiple issues using Update Issue or you can configure multiple post functions. 

Create on Transition Post Functions are similar to native Jira Post Functions in that they are configured and can be modified during normal workflow editing.
