Is it possible to auto update Jira PD status when Jira software status reaches a certain point?

[Claire Holmes]

Looking to link the workflow status between Jira PD ideas and Jira software status, either for individual stories or EPICs. So that when a story in Jira Software has the status "In testing" for example, the same is reflected in Jira PD

Hi Claire,

I believe that this is what you are looking for:


Not sure if this is still the easiest way to do so, but it's been working great for us.

Please note that we have copied this automation rule for all status mappings that we want from Jira to JPD. I guess you could also create a single automation rule which triggers on a status transition and then branches through different IF-statements based on the mapping you configure.

Hope it's of help to you!

Adding a comment at the end of an automation is a really nice touch, I'd never thought of that.  Thanks for sharing this!

@Claire Holmes from the FAQ, I think this should be relevant:

How do I automatically change an idea when its delivery issues are done?

You can use Project Automation to automatically change an idea (e.g., change a field value, transition to a status) when its delivery epics/issues are done. 

Demo: project automation in Jira Product Discovery

Thanks I will try this out!
