Move Task from one Kanban Board to another when Status is updated

[quteiba_alsalaa]

• Yes, i'm using a company-managed project
• And this is my KanbanBoard
• Here is an explanation again what i'm trying to do, i do have created the Tasks in Jira through an API from the SAP CALM and this works very well, here is an example about the task which i did create
• As you see, the task does have some information such as Description, Status -> the most important thing here is the Status, which is Done here
• The update of the Task happen also through the API, then the Status changes from Status:Done to Status:Backlog -> but the Workflow here does not update i still get this task in the Kanban Column in Progress
• I want to have the possibility to move Tasks from on Kanban Board to another, right now i can not do that, so how can i trigger the Status from the Description (not the Drown Down Menu), are my tasks clea?
• please provide for me a specific steps, what should i do, if this possible or not, i tried a lot and i really appreciate it to have a specific answer with a clear steps :)

Thanks in Advanced, if you need something, please let me know:

Best wishes

Hi @quteiba_alsalaa

Welcome to the community and thanks for your question.

To display your work item in another column, you must update the status of your work item. You can do that based on the work item description using a Jira Automation rule:

• Trigger: Field value changed (Description)
• Action: Create Variable to define "parsedStatus" = {{issue.description.match("Status: (.*)")}}
• Condition: Check if the variable is not empty
• Action: Transition issue to the corresponding status

Let me know if it helps,

David

Hi @quteiba_alsalaa

In order to troubleshoot your rule, refer to the Debug an automation rule documentation article.

You may need to add some Log action in your rule, in order to understand where the issue comes from.

Good luck and feel free to attach debugging screenshots if needed,

David
