Trying to automatically add an Issue to a Sprint when closed

Josh Johnston

Hello all,

I'm trying to build a Jira automation that adds an issue to the current users active sprints when the issue is closed, and only if the Sprint field isn't already set. Nothing I've tried gets me across the line

Trigger: Status changes to Done

Work Item Fields Condition: Check if Sprint field is Empty

User Condition: assignee is in specific team

Edit work item: Change Sprint field to Active Sprint (Board Sprint)

This never triggers. It runs, but never makes a change. What am I missing?

I have also tried to Lookup Work Items and use {{lookupIssues.sprint.first.id}} to get the sprint values and use that in the Edit step, but that doesn't work either.

Solution in case anyone finds this in the future:
Setting both the Jira TEAM and the Atlassian GROUP for the user condition worked. I'd love to know why, but I'm rolling with it.

Extra details: If I use a specific user instead of a team, I can get this to work. Attempting to use a team fails 100%
