This feature allows the inclusion of a specific step in the approval process if it aligns with a condition defined in a https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jira-expressions/. Jira Expressions. Once selected, the step will only be added to the approval workflow solely when the condition is fulfilled.
Should the condition not be met or encounter an error, the step will not be part of the approval process. Find more regarding conditions in our documentation.
