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.
