How can I auto change the status while assigning the ticket to current Sprint?

[Suneetha Bandaru]

Hi All, I am trying to find out if there is a way to change the status for a story/Task/bug when it is assigned to a particular sprint/current Sprint. Basically, when I create a JIRA ticket, the initial status is "Backlog" . When I assign a Sprint/move a ticket from Backlog to a Sprint, I am expecting the status to be changed to "Selected For Development". Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance!

@Suneetha Bandaru You need it using automation ?

@Suneetha Bandaru Welcome! You might use a bulk change operation ?

Thanks for your response @Nicolas Grossi . But, Bulk Change still needs some manual steps of changing the status of all the tickets- right? or are you talking about some bulk change in automation or so?

The actual expectation is that the moment I assign some sprint to my Story/Bug having the status "Backlog", the status has to be changed as "Selected For Development" without any extra steps. Is it possible? and if yes, how? through some validators/conditions/post functions in the workflow?

Hi @Nicolas Grossi , thanks for your response.

I used automation rule and it worked.

I used the logic, whenever the "Sprint" value is changed (which includes adding a Sprint value to a ticket) and if the existing status is "Backlog" which is default when the ticket is created, then the status is changed to "Selected For Development".
