Business Use case
We have two level of approbation. When an issue is created, it has to be approved by the business approvals to go to "Accepted" state. Once business accepts, IT will check and if they approve, the issue will transition "To Implement". We want that if someone replies @APPROVED the issue automatically moves to the next state.
Preliminary Concepts
The 'Automatic issue transitioning' is a configurable option of the Herzum Approval add-on.
In order to configure it, you need to check the AWT box associated to the specific transition as per the example showed below:
The add-on allows to transition an issue via the FORCED or the RESPONSIVE automatic workflow transitioning.
- The Responsive transitioning simulates an issue transitioning performed by an user (the user configured via the AWT global setting screen).
The Responsive transitioning is able to run the post function configured on your workflow but it needs that existing condition and validators allow transitioning. - The Forced transitioning simply migrates the issue in the target status.
The Forced transitioning is the default. It does not need you configure an AWT user. The issue is automatically transitioned without performing checks on conditions and validators but without running post functions too.
