Setting trigger conditions
Add a condition
Find the Trigger condition box and choose Add condition.
Select one of the following conditions:
Condition Example Event Issue created.
Issue changed.

Issue field Field value changed or became equal to the specified value. Choose an event or comparison operation depending on the condition type.
If you chose a comparison operation, specify the comparison value.
You can add multiple conditions to a trigger if necessary. By default, the trigger is only activated when all conditions are met simultaneously. If you want your trigger to be activated as soon as at least one of the conditions is met, click Any.
You can add a condition set (two or more) that will be triggered by AND/OR operators.
Example
The trigger will be activated once a set condition is met: New comment AND (one of two conditions is met: User assigned to issue OR issue status changed to Need info) AND (one of two conditions is met: Start date specified OR Original estimate specified).
Comparison operations
- If you set a comparison operation as a trigger condition, the condition is checked every time the issue is updated. The trigger activates once the condition is met.
- Various roles can have their own comparison operations.
- You can set additional options for some comparison operations:
- No match before change: Triggers if a field value changed after a comparison operation.
- Ignore case: Treat uppercase characters the same as the same lowercase characters.
- Ignore markup: Ignore Wiki markup in text.
Examples of acceptable comparison operations are listed in the table.
