Changing When Rules Are Evaluated

By default, workflow rules are evaluated when an issue is loaded and when issues are created.

However, you can force rules to be evaluated when a user changes the value of one of the fields specified in the condition. Keep in mind that evaluating rules on field changes can have a potentially higher performance cost.

To evaluate rules on field changes:

1    In the list, click a template.

2    Click Template and then click Properties.

3    Select the Evaluate rules when users change field values check box.

4    In the Template Properties dialog, click OK.

5    Click Apply to apply the change to the Web views of the project.
