[Update Issues Post Function - 4.x](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CW/pages/69304584) and [Conditional Validator](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CW/pages/69304604) use the following terminology:

| Term | Definition |
| --- | --- |
| **original** | The original issue that started the workflow transition. This could be an issue or sub-task. |
| parent | The parent issue of the **original** issue. If the **original** issue is **not** a sub-task, 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.
