Can we link open issues from one ticket to another when sprint closes using automation?

[Vasundhara Verma]

I have a scenario in which I have to create a ticket when new sprint is created and link some old issues in that above ticket on sprint start. Let me explain this with an example.

1. Current sprint is : Feb-1 ==> A story is created as "Story-Feb1" 

Now some tasks are linked in the "Story-Feb1" for example
a. ABC => Open state

b. PQR => In progress

c. XYZ => Done

2. Now when a new sprint is created (Feb-2), then a new story is raised as "Story-Feb2" and all the tasks which are not done yet in "Story-Feb1"  (which are ABC , PQR ) gets linked to the newly created story (i.e Story-Feb2)

I am able to create a new story on creation of new sprint via automation rule but not able to figure out the second part which is now to link open issues to the new story.

Hi @Vasundhara Verma 

This assumes that you're always creating the new sprint before the current sprint has been completed, but you could do it with a branch JQL component:

sprint in openSprints () AND status != Done

Then you would add a link action from there:

The extra steps would look like this:

Thank you so much @Mark Segall ! Although this was not the exact thing which i wanted to do but it helped me to understand and fix my rule and it worked !! :)
