Jira Expressions Cookbook

Issue must be in current sprint​

Need to make sure that an issue is part of the current sprint? That’s a breeze with Jira Expressions. This is typically useful as part of a workflow condition or a workflow validator.

Expression​

issue.sprint.state == 'active'

Ensure specs and tests have been written​

Whenever you are about to start working on a story you’ll want to make sure that all specs and a test plan are complete and available. Let's assume that both, specs and test plans, each have certain issue type. This is typically useful as part of a workflow condition or a workflow validator.

Expression​

issue.links
  .filter(li => li.linkedIssue.issueType.name == 'Spec' 
             && li.linkedIssue.status.name != 'New').length > 0 
&& issue.links
  .filter(li => li.linkedIssue.issueType.name == 'Test Plan' 
             && li.linkedIssue.status.name != 'New').length > 0
