Why does my automation rule create 1000 jira's?

Why does my automation rule create 1000 jira's?

Hi all,

I am trying to create an automated daily jira that also adds watchers automatically.

However, it asks me to run a JQL search to provide issues.

What would I need to put in here to only make the automation run once? As it is currently repeating itself and creates 1000 jiras.

Thanks,

Hi @reece.singh

You can get around this error, as JQL isn't necessary when creating an issue - rule should look like this:

Trigger: Scheduled
Action: Create Issue
Branch: Related issues
- Type = Most recently created issue
  - Branch-Action: Manage watchers

The Branch ensures the action is taken by the issue you've created, rather than requiring this data from the JQL search.

Hi @reece.singh

Reason why rule created over 1000 issues is that you put quire open JQL in Scheduled trigger.

You need to modify your rule as below:

1. Trigger - Scheduled - just uncheck 'Run a JQL'

2. Action - Create issue

3. Branch for Most recently created issue

4. Put in branch Manage watchers action.

Rule should looks like below

This should solve your issue.
