Missing Automation action to move the new sprint to the top

Evaldas Raisutis

I have created an automaton to create the next sprint - great.

However, the new sprint is created as the last sprint.

I would like to be able to "move sprint to top" within the automation, just like I can manually in the user interface.

Hi @Evaldas Raisutis 

Welcome to the community.

This could be done vai a web request action in the automation to call this API endpoint;

Hi Marc, wouldn't I have to manually authenticate the request via PAT or something else?

Hi @Evaldas Raisutis 

Yes, that's always the case if you want to use API actions executed from within an automation rule.

My mistake, but I thought that you understood this ;)

Well, by that logic I could just build it myself in an IPaaS and call whatever APIs I want. If these built-in automations should be useful, especially to those not capable or willing to code it themselves, then I think this would be a good addition to existing automation actions.
