How do I create automation to both "flag" and change issue color when a field condition isn't met?

[Kyle Wilz]

I am trying to create an automation that will:

- Flag the Issue

- Change the Issue Color

When our custom field "category" is empty when the issue is transitioned to "In Progress"

The screen grab is what I have so far

Hey @Kyle Wilz ,

Flagging is already working via your automation rule?

For card colors, go to the board settings (see https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/customize-cards/) and configure the color—in your case, probably by queries/JQL.

Regards,
Thorsten
