An excellent and free plugin giving the developer at lot of options and possibilities to enhance the solution. Some very complex groovy stuff can be achived here.

The Scriptrunner is free, and most of the Conditions, Validations and Post-Functions that other plugins on this page offer, can be achived for "free" in groovy. But its all "by hand" - whereas several plugins offer a GUI and other value added fields etc. |
