1. Opening Expression Tester

  • The Expression Tester is available in the App menu of your Jira instance

  • Click on “Apps” and then on “Expression Tester”

2. Interface Elements

When you open the open the Expression Tester app, it will look similar to this:

  1. Issue Key
    Enter an issue key to add that issue to the Expression’s execution context. The issue will be available as issue.

  2. Project Key
    Enter a project key to add that project to the Expression’s execution context. The project will be available as project.

  3. JQL Query Editor
    To execute an Expression on a number of issues, open the JQL query editor and use JQL to select multiple issues. The results of the JQL query will be available as a list of issues named issues.

  4. Jira Expression
    Enter your Jira Expression here. White spaces and newlines are ignored by Jira Expressions, so it makes sense to use both widely to make longer Expressions more readable.

  5. Your Results
    This text box will show the results of your Jira Expression.

  6. Evaluate
    Click the Evaluate button to execute your Jira Expression

  7. Download as JSON
    Click this button to download your results as JSON

  8. ?
    Click the question mark to open the inline help and settings.

3. Settings

Currently, there is only one setting to change: “Send anonymous analytics data“. When enabled, the app anonymously stores usage data, i.e. the Expression being evaluated. This helps us understand how users are using the Expression Tester app.

The app does not store the results of an expression nor do we have any way to connect the usage data to a specific instance or user.
