Align Roadmap Plan Teams with my custom Sprint Teams

[Jeff]

 I need to learn how to create a Team in Jira Software "Plans" based on my "Sprint Team" (custom field) in Jira.

Hi @Jeff 

What kind of field is "Sprint Team"? And how would you like it to align?

Is just using the Team field from Advanced Roadmaps not an option, thus avoiding the need for two fields?

Hello!

"Sprint Team" is a custom field used extensively to assign all Jira tickets to a sprint team (6 options). It's how each team board is filtered, etc.

I would prefer to configure "Advanced Roadmaps" to use this custom field for team assignment (instead of changing all of Jira to switching from "Sprint Team" to "Team").

Is that possible?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi @Jeff 

It's not possible to change the field Team is driven from. The Team field in Advanced Roadmaps has special parameters not available in other custom fields.

You could though set Team using Automation - for example...

• Trigger: Field Value Changed - Sprint Team
• Condition: If/Else Block
  • Sub-Condition: Issue Field - Sprint Team = Team 1
  • Action: Edit Issue - set Team (see below)
• ...etc

To set the Team field in Automation, you need to use JSON as it's not a field option available in the base list. See this answer for a good set of instructions on how to do this!

Let us know if this works for you, or if you need further help with Automation!
