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.Several of the plugins above have better or equal as good post-functions (and sometime easier to use) than the scriptunner.

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. |

Update 2017-10-02: Well, its not free anymore, since the writing of this article, Adaptavist has purchased Scriprunner. But, its still the best JIRA Plugin by far |
