Issue Updated

Project compatibility

Windows | Cross-platform

Overview

The Issue Updated trigger starts a workflow when an existing Jira issue is updated in the specified project and issue type. It uses polling to detect changes, supports optional field-level filters (for example, status, labels, assignee), and supplies a hydrated issue object in the output, suitable for downstream automations. All permissions and pagination rules for the Jira Cloud REST API are enforced.
