Automation: Set a sprint from a linked issue

[Tobias Magnus (ext)]

Hello together,

I am trying to copy the sprint value to a new issue, which is linked to a certain task.

I tried to used a smart value:

{{masterSprint}} = {{issue.sprint}}

Later in the rule I try to set it via "Edit Issue / Additional Fields".

"fields": {
    "epic link": "{{epicMasterLink}}",
    "fixVersions": [{
        "add": "{{masterFixVersion}}"
    }],
    "Sprint": [{
        "add": "{{masterSprint}}"
    }]
}

I always run into this error:

Number value expected as the Sprint id.

The same error occur when trying to set the sprint as an array. 

I also tried to set the id of the sprint, "18" and get the same error. 

Don't know how to fix.

Thanks for your help.

@Tobias Magnus (ext) - if you want to hardcode a sprint ID via Automation, remove the quotes and the value will be applied. 

Regarding the automation you're trying to make, are you trying to do something like this?

1. User creates new issue.
2. User links new issue to an existing issue that is part of Sprint A.
3. Automation sets the sprint of the issue to Sprint A.

Hi @Dave LIAO  you are right, this is the scenario that I was working with.

Meanwhile I found out, that I could use {{issue.sprint.id}} to set the sprint, so it works for me.

Great, glad you figured it out! ^_^
