Context
Context contains a number of entities which may be useful during a rule execution. Context is passed as an argument to action, onEnter and onExit functions. It contains:
An
issue, which is an object of a current rule. Its origin varies depending on rule type (see a table below). If several issues become objects at the same time, rules are executed for each issue separately in no specific order.A
currentUser, who is a subject of a current rule. It also varies depending on rule type (see a table below). Note that the change initiator is inherited. If the execution of a scheduled rule triggers an on-change rule, thecurrentUserfor the on-change rule is inherited from the scheduled rule.All entities that are defined in Requirements.

Scheduled | The issue which matches the search criteria | A dedicated Workflow User (a system user with full set of permissions) |
Action | The issue on which a corresponding command is executed | The user who executed a command |
State machine - instant actions | The issue where the controlled field is changed | The user who changed the value of the controlled field |
State machine - 'after' actions | The issue where the value of the controlled field is equal to the value specified for the action | A dedicated Workflow User (a system user with full set of permissions) |
