How to Config "Revert decisions" in the Cloud

Within "Rules" you can configure:

• revertMyDecisions
• revertAllDecisions

to rollback previous decisions triggered by a workflow transition e.g. into the same status (keep status unchanged but offer a related button for the user as action).

1. Create a new custom field of type „text (single line)“ and name it e.g. „internal control field“ and put it on your EDIT screens only (not on VIEW screens).
   
   
   
   
2. Get the ID of that new field and remember that for later: switch into Jira's adminstration → Custom Fields and proceed as shown on the screen copy below.
   
   
3. Modify your workflow and add a transition from state X to X (transition with keeping the status) and add a workflow post function to set the value of the custom field, you have just created:
   
   
   
   Below, you see the result:
   
   
   
   
4. Switch to Group Sign-Off configuration, open new tab „Rules“ and insert the code as displayed below, but modify the name of your new created field using your correct
   field id for "customfield_xyz" having set "xyz" to the ID of your new created field:
   
   
   
   
5. DONE: now, you can click on transition „Reject Decisions“ and this sets back the field:
   
   

Explanation:

Clicking on transition "revert decisions", the configured constant value will be put into that issue's custom-field. Displaying this issue, the configured rule will be executed upfront: if the related custom-field contains this special constant value, all decisions of the specified group sign-off property are reverted via the helper-function. Afterwards, the constant value needs to be reset back to empty ("") in order to omit additional reverts while loading next time.
