Correct answers: A, B, E, F
Explanation
To change the status using the bulk operator, users need to use the transition issues operation.
Technically, users can still change an issue's status using the Move operation, but only if the target workflow is using a different workflow or different status. The answer is still incorrect because the user is not moving the issue.
Transition an issue's status can be restricted by Validator, Conditions, and Workflow status properties. Users need to check they have the correct permission.
Users can use jira.permission.transition.denied in the status property workflow to add transition restrictions on a particular status.
Conditions let you define which users can perform a specific workflow transition. You can control whether a transition can be triggered or executed by the user. If a condition fails, the user will not see the transition button on the 'View issue' screen and so will not be able to execute the transition.
Validators check that any input made to the transition is valid before the transition is performed. Input can include that gathered from the user on the transition's screen. If a validator fails, the issue does not progress to the destination status of the transition, and the transition's post functions are not executed.
Post functions carry out any additional processing required after a transition is executed, such as:
Updating an issue's fields
Generating change history for an issue
Adding a comment to an issue
Generating an event to trigger email notifications
Status Properties allow users to restrict the issue on a particular status. For example:
Make Jira uneditable on 'Done' status
Only allow a certain user to transition the status on a particular status.
Only allow a certain user to add a comment on a particular status.
