Automation for when an issue's issue type changed from a certain issue types, change it back

[İclal Aslan]

Hi everyone,

I try to write an automation for when an issue's issue type changed from a certain issue types, change it back to what was it before. Let's say the issue type was x they changed it to y, change it back to x.

I can use JMWE(jira Misc Workflow Extension) or jira automation itself.

Any ideas how?

Thanks.

Hello @İclal Aslan 

You can try with an automation rule where the trigger is:
When: Field value changes (Issue Type)

Then, add your condition(s) as needed.

For the action, choose Edit issue → Issue Type,
and use this smart value:  {{fieldChange.from}}

Hope this can help :)
