The [post functions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOT/pages/68748618) and [Conditional Validator](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOT/pages/68749050) use the following terminology:

| Term | Definition |
| --- | --- |
| **original** | The original issue that started the workflow transition. This could be an issue or subtask. |
| parent | The parent issue of the **original** issue. If the **original** issue is **not** a subtask, then parent is the same as **original**. |
| entry | The current entry being processed from the issue list. |

This terminology is also used in the [substitution variables](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOT/pages/68749234).
