Post Functions

The post function module can be found in Workflows so you can plug python code to run in transitions.

To access the Workflow functionality, follow the steps below:

1. Go to Settings → Workflows

2. Select the workflow you want to add a Post function and click “Edit” in the 3 dots on the right.

3. Click “Edit”.

4. Now you can either go to the Diagram View or the Text View.

5. (Diagram) Click in the Transition you want to add a Post function and follow the diagram below:
   Transition → Post functions → Add Post Function → EFJ Python Script → Add
   

   

6. Now you are in the EFJ Python Script Module, so you should:
   

   

   
   1. Name your script
   2. Give it a description
   3. Add a condition to execute
   4. Add the code that you need to run.
   5. Save

Using the code repository

You can use the Code Repository to hold your code, then import the code in the post function “Script” section as follows. Where myfilename is the name of the file you provided in the Repository.

import myfilename

Testing my script

For good measure, you should first test your script in the Console.

To do so, in the beginning of your code, you can give it a Context Issue as follows:

issue = Issue('Your Test Issue Key')

# Rest of your code here

That will simulate the same scenario as a Transition Post function.

After testing and validating you got the expected result:

1. Remove the first line containing the code issue = Issue('Your Test Issue Key').

2. Add your code to the “Script” section in the Post Function

3. Save

Results should be equal. If not, feel free to open a ticket at our Portal
