What are status-transition rules for?
Moving an issue to the next status may require an owner or completed checks. Transition rules make those agreed conditions part of the workflow.

How to apply it
An authorized administrator can define a Taskending rule for a project, source status and destination status. Choose supported role, assignee and checklist conditions based on a real need. Start with one transition and test both an allowed and a blocked case.
A concrete example
A team may require an assignee and completed checks before review. Moving the card then signals readiness rather than a purely visual change. Explain why the rule exists and how someone should resolve missing information.
What to watch for
This does not reproduce every Jira automation or a full visual workflow designer. Excessive rules can obstruct delivery. Consider customer, API and Git-driven changes instead of designing only for board interactions.
How to check the outcome
Try the rule with complete and incomplete issue information. A blocked transition should explain what is missing, while legitimate authorized work should not become unexpectedly stuck.
