What to set in Sprint?

[Jimmy Trivedi]

I want to set current Active sprint when issue is created, so I'm trying to Post function from diagram, but I'm not sure what to give value in "Description" box.

Hi @Jimmy Trivedi ,

What you are trying to do goes against every rule in the book: when you use sprints, the idea is that you very consciously decide which issues are planned in a sprint. So automatically assigning every created issue to the active sprint goes directly against that. If that is what you want, you would be better of with a kanban board, which instantly eliminates your problem (as there are no sprints on such a board).

At the same time, I can imagine that there are scenarios out there in the wild where rules and books are not being used. So if this is the case here, you could consider setting up an automation rule that triggers when an issue is created and then indeed sets the active sprint to that issue.

Such a rule would look somewhat like this (can be set from project automation):

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the answer. I'm already using Automation in my project and I know that I can do it, but I was trying through post function, but it seems that is a complex / time taking process to set up.

PS: Finally, I fixed it through automation.

Thank you.

Hi @Jimmy Trivedi ,

You would put the sprint ID. This would not be scalable since you would need to go back and enter a new ID each time a new active sprint is created.

You may want to considered looking to script this if this is not a one time thing.  however, you will probably need an add-on like script runner to do this implementation.

Hi @Benjamin 

Thanks for the answer. It feels complex and time taking thing for me through post-function, so I did it through automation.

Thank you,
