Workflow Features

These workflow features extend Jira in assuring data collection

Validators

These validations are used in the workflow transitions upon issue Create to assure there is data for the gadgets in this plugin.

• "VOC Priority Field Validator" constrains the transition if the issue is one of {Bug, Defect} issue types and requires the Priority field to not be the value "None".
• "VOC Severity Field Validator" constrains the transition if the issue is one of {Bug, Defect} issue types and requires the Severity field to not be null ("None").

Post Function

This post function is used in the workflow transitions when you want to share the issue state change with a group of people that includes rich metadata and linked issues related to this Story.

• "Mail Send Post Function" enables a transition to send email with custom body and a footer showing the transition and a link back to the issue.

JQL

These functions are used in the gadget servlets to correlate Bugs (Defects) and Support Requests. However, they can be used for any filter of related issues.

• "LinkedIssueTypeCreatedBefore" and "LinkedIssueTypeCreatedBeforeQuery" jql functions. These query functions retrieve a list of issues that were created before the issue to which they are linked. This is used to correlate the Defect/Bug report with the Support Request report, such that the relationship is reflected in the visualization of defect density.
