Automation problem

[Niclas Moberg]

I need helt to set up an automation in Jira.

I've tried using gpt, gemini and Rovo for guidance, but none of them give me correct instructions 

I want "Version released" as trigger, and the following to happen.

In project "TES" (Jira service management) there is a work item which is cloned to project "TR".

When the fix version of the work items in project "TR" is released, I want the custom field "Version released" of linked work items in project "TES" to be updated with the text "Version released".

Hey @Niclas Moberg ,

What you're trying to achieve is not trivial, since out-of-the-box JQL does not support nesting, and a function like linkedIssues() only matches against specific issue keys or a saved set of issues.

While using the Version released trigger enables you to incorporate an Issues fixed in version branch to select your TR items, this approach also lacks a needed nesting to select the TES issues from there.

That being said, I'd suggest/ask the following:

Is the act of releasing the version tied to a status change of your TR items in that version? If so, using that status change as a trigger might be a more convenient way of starting your rule, since you already have the correct items as context and just have to look for your linked TES items.

Hi @Thorsten Letschert _Decadis AG_ 

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

At the moment, the process is not tied to a status change, but I will definately try your suggestion.
