Transition to Up Next if certain text is in the Summary

[deseymour]

I am trying to set up automation that only moves a task to Up Next if there is certain text in the Summary field of the task. I've attached a screenshot showing how I set this up, but it seems to just run this on every task that is created instead of only on the ones that have the correct text in Summary. I may be wrong about that...my log shows No Actions Performed for all that do not have that text...so does it actually just run the automation to see if that text is there and if not, it just lists No Actions Performed? If so, am I charged for those runs against my automation limit?

Hello @deseymour

Your understanding is exactly right. The rule will trigger for every new issue, but if the summary doesn't match your text, the condition stops the flow immediately, resulting in a "No Actions Performed" log.

The good news is that runs terminating at a condition without executing an action do not count against your monthly automation usage quota.💪

For the setup itself, stick to a basic Issue fields condition (Summary > contains > your text) rather than advanced JQL, as it is much easier to maintain. Just double-check that the transition to "Up Next" is a valid path from the issue's initial creation status, or the rule will fail at the final step.
