createWorkflow method

Creates a workflow. You can define transition rules using the shapes detailed in the following sections. If no transitional rules are specified the default system transition rules are used. Note: This only applies to company-managed scoped workflows. Use bulk create workflows to create both team and company-managed scoped workflows.

Conditions

Conditions enable workflow rules that govern whether a transition can execute.

Always false condition

A condition that always fails.

{
   "type": "AlwaysFalseCondition"
 }

Block transition until approval

A condition that blocks issue transition if there is a pending approval.

{
   "type": "BlockInProgressApprovalCondition"
 }

Compare number custom field condition

A condition that allows transition if a comparison between a number custom field and a value is true.

{
   "type": "CompareNumberCFCondition",
   "configuration": {
     "comparator": "=",
     "fieldId": "customfield_10029",
     "fieldValue": 2
   }
 }

• comparator One of the supported comparator: =, >, and <.

• fieldId The custom numeric field ID. Allowed field types:

  • com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:float
  • com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:jsw-story-points

• fieldValue The value for comparison.

{
   "type": "RemoteOnlyCondition"
 }

Only assignee condition

A condition that allows only the assignee to execute a transition.

{
   "type": "AllowOnlyAssignee"
 }

Only Bamboo notifications workflow condition

   "type": "OnlyBambooNotificationsCondition"
 }

Only reporter condition

A condition that allows only the reporter to execute a transition.

{
   "type": "AllowOnlyReporter"
 }

Permission condition

A condition that allows only users with a permission to execute a transition.

{
   "type": "PermissionCondition",
