Cannot Fire a custom event

[GilK]

Hi,

When I edit a transition (any of them) in my workflow and trying to Add a post function, I get a lot of functions but not the function to Fire a custom event, or fire anything.

All the transitions already have JIRA default fire an event post function, but I'd like to add my own.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Janiv.

You can fire your own event based on some condition using this workflow function from the script runner plugin.

Works great, thanks !

JIRA doesn't support mutliple events on the same post function. See https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-13738 for details.

You can either edit the default event and throw your event instead or catch the event in a listener and throw the custom event. The latter needs development.

You could emulate this by having two statuses. Transition to the first one and fire the first event, then automatically transition to the second status and fire the second status. Perhaps with JIRA Toolkit Auto Transition Listener or using Jamie's approach at http://blogs.onresolve.com/?p=235

This is an info from 2012. Now, after several versions of JIRA, is it still true that JIRA supports only one 'Fire Event' in the same post-function, or this behaviour has changed? As Janiv, I also need to fire more than one Event in my post-function.
