Automation question about custom field null check

[Jason Liu]

When workflow status change, New-In Progress, we want to check if 3 custom fields are null or not. If they are null, I need an automation to change another field's value to "No". If not null, then check the other field value as "Yes". Just like this kind of function. May I know how I can do this?

You can do this by using Automation for Jira which is in the project settings under Automation or if using JSW project type then also on the board by hitting the lighting bolt > manage automation

You can create an automation a few different ways with these requirements. I would use this with what I know.

Trigger = Issue Transition

First condition would need to be ' If else statement'

Condition based on Custom field value  in first statement


Action edit custom field to "No"
Else
condition base on other custom field value

Action edit custom field to "Yes"

Hope this helps you and if it does please mark as answered.

Hi Aaron, is the automation for Jira a plug-in? I just found one but I'm not sure we have the function in their documentation. We have another plug-in JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows. Can this plug-in do this function?

@Jason LiuIt can be done by automation. Please look at following automation. I have used if else block to match your requirement

Hi Gopi, if it's a plug-in, could you share the documentation? I found a plug-in in our system named "Automation for Jira" but I cannot find the documentation.

@Jason LiuAutomation is in-built for jira. You don't need to install it separately. You can find automation in project settings or in system page

Hi Gopi, our Jira version is server 8.5.2 and I didn't see automation in project setting.

@Jason LiuThe you should install Automation for Jira plugin in server. I thought are using jira cloud
