...
In Jira workflows, conditions are rules that determine whether a transition (e.g., moving an issue from one status to another) can be executed. They can be based on user roles, issue fields, or custom logic, ensuring only authorized users or valid actions are allowed .
Use case
We want te that user to be able to transition the status of their ticket based on the "User Acceptance Testing" field.
If the User Acceptance Testing is set to Success, the user can only transition the ticket status from In Review to Done or Reopened .
If the User Acceptance Testing is set to Fail, the user can only transition the ticket status from In Review to Code Review .
...
