Conditional Execution on Send Email Post Function not working with previous JQL

[Matthew Harkins]

In our previous version of JIRA Software 7.1.1 with the 2.2.30 version of the plugin the conditional execution worked with JQL like %{00000} in ("Text") After upgrading to JIRA Data Center 7.3.3 this conditional no longer works. It is still validated by the Syntax checker as correct, but the email is never sent. I was able to get my workflows working again by changing the JQL to %{00000} ~ "Text" We use these all over our workflows and it will be extremely tedious to change them all to the working syntax.

Is this a regression?

Hi Matthew,

Which feature of the plugin are you using?

Can you please attach a screenshot of a feature using that JQL query?

The first image should give you the title of the workflow post function. I have circled the conditional execution section that I had to change in the second image.

Sorry, Mathew, but you haven't actually attached any screenshot to the issue. I can only see fragments of an URL in your post.

Weird, I see the two attachments on my sent message.

I'm now trying to add the attachments through the GUI instead of via email attachments.

Matthew,

That's not a JQL query, but a boolean expression in JIRA Workflow Toolbox's particular language.

The following 2 expressions are not equivalent:

• %{00000} in "Text" returns true only when the whole issue summary is contained as a substring in "Text" string.
• %{00000} ~ "Text" returns true only when Summary contains "Text" substring.

I imagine that your desired behavior is the second one.

The behavior of those string operators have not changed since they were included in the plugin.

I have a custom multi-select field with text options "US" and "UK" It is possible that I only tested 1 option at a time instead of both, but I was "nearly" certain that before the upgrade, I could have an issue that had both options selected and when the transition occurred independent post process functions would send emails according to the summarized post processes conditions: post process function 1 had a boolean expression for example %{12345} in ("US") post process function 2 had a boolean expression for example %{12345} in ("UK") In any case, I have adjusted the expressions to the case %{12345} ~ "Value" per your response and my processes are now working -- perhaps more accurately than before. Thank you for the precise explanation.

Glad you made it work.

You can also use a boolean expression like "US" in %{nnnnn}, which is equivalent to %{nnnnn} ~ "US", where nnnnn is the field code for your Multi-Select custom field.
