An automation rule is configured as shown:When: Rule is triggered on All commentsIf: Initiator is...

The automation rule is triggered when any comment is added to an issue and checks the initiator’s project role to determine the action. Since you are only in theReviewersproject role, commenting on an issue will trigger the rule, and the issue will transition toREVIEWbased on the rule’s logic.

Explanation of the Correct Answer (Option B):

The rule is triggered byAll comments, meaning any comment on an issue activates the rule.

The rule has twoIfconditions:

If the initiator (the user who commented) is in theDevelopersproject role, the issue transitions toDEVELOPMENT.

If the initiator is in theReviewersproject role, the issue transitions toREVIEW.

Since you are only in theReviewersproject role, the secondIfcondition is met when you comment, and theThenaction transitions the issue toREVIEW.

Exact Extract from Documentation:

Configure automation rules

Automation rules consist of triggers, conditions, and actions.

Trigger: Defines when the rule runs (e.g., Comment Added).

Condition: Checks criteria like user roles (e.g., Initiator is in Reviewers).

Action: Performs tasks like transitioning an issue.Conditions are evaluated sequentially, and the corresponding action is executed if the condition is met. If multiple conditions apply, each matching condition’s action is executed unless restricted by rule logic.Note: The initiator is the user who triggers the rule (e.g., the commenter).(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Automate your Jira Cloud instance")

Why This Fits: As a member of theReviewersproject role, your comment satisfies theIf: Initiator is in Reviewerscondition, triggering theTransition the issue to REVIEWaction, making Option B the correct answer.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

The rule does not execute (Option A):

The rule is triggered byAll comments, so any comment, including yours, will execute the rule. The issue is not whether the rule executes but what action it performs.

Extract from Documentation:

AComment Addedtrigger activates the rule whenever a comment is added to an issue, regardless of the user’s role.

The rule executes but does not perform any actions (Option C):

The rule executes and performs theTransition the issue to REVIEWaction because you are in theReviewersproject role, which satisfies the secondIfcondition. The rule will not skip actions if a condition is met.

Extract from Documentation:

If a condition in an automation rule is met, the associated action is executed unless restricted by additional logic.

(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Automate your Jira Cloud instance")

The issue transitions to DEVELOPMENT (Option D):

TheDEVELOPMENTtransition is only triggered if the initiator is in theDevelopersproject role. Since you are only in theReviewersrole, this condition is not met, and the issue will not transition toDEVELOPMENT.

Extract from Documentation:

Conditions likeInitiator is in [Role]check the user’s project role membership. Only the actions for matching conditions are executed.

(Source: Atlassian Support Documentation, "Jira automation conditions")

Additional Notes:

The rule assumes theDEVELOPMENTandREVIEWstatuses exist in the project’s workflow and that transitions to these statuses are valid from the issue’s current status.

If you were in bothDevelopersandReviewersroles, both actions could execute sequentially, but the question specifies you are only inReviewers, so only theREVIEWtransition applies.
