Jira Expression Condition & Validator
Write complex Jira Expressions confidently with suggestions, syntax highlighting, and real-time validation
For advanced workflow scenarios, Workflow Building Blocks provides Jira Expression Condition and Validator that let you write fully custom expressions with complete support for the Jira expression language. Our advanced editor guides you with suggestions, syntax highlighting, validation, and real-time testing, making it easier to create complex rules correctly. These tools allow you to define precise conditions based on any combination of fields, statuses, or criteria, giving you full control over workflow transitions.
While the Jira Expression Validator is ideal for fully custom logic, we recommend using the Ultimate Validator for most use cases. It simplifies expression construction by providing a visual, no-code UI, so you can build advanced workflow conditions quickly and safely without needing to learn Jira expression syntax.
Benefits of the Jira Expression Editor:
Suggestions and auto-completion – Helps you write expressions faster and reduces errors.
Syntax highlighting – Makes it easier to read and understand complex expressions.
Real-time validation – Detect errors immediately as you type.
Expression tester – Validate your expressions on real issues directly in the configuration screen.
Custom field search by name – Quickly find the IDs of the fields required by your expressions.
