Automation rule: status to specific value

[Martijn Abbink]

Is it possible to put an automation rule when the status of an item is changed to a specific value (i.e. "Ready to Release")?

Only when the status is changed to "Ready to Release" I want to put a fix version on top of it. Wondering if this would be possible.

Hi @Martijn Abbink ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Another possible solution is to use a PostFunction instead of an automation. You can add a pf on transition that move your ticket to "Ready for Release" in which you set a specific field value.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Thank you for the warm welcome and the answer.

Do you have an example available how to do so? This sounds exactly what I need.

Hey @Martijn Abbink ,

take a look to the following article https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/best-practices-on-using-the-resolution-field-968660796.html

Create a post function on the transition that leads to the "Done" status to set the resolution as something fixed:

1. Open your project > Click project settings > Click workflows on your left sidebar;
2. Find the relevant workflow, then, on your right corner, click the pencil icon to edit it;
3. Select the transition to the "Done" status;
4. Click post functions;
5. On your right corner, click Add post function;
6. Select Update issue field, then click add;
7. On "Issue Field", select Resolution;
8. Select the relevant "Field Value", then click Add;
   1. You'll need to perform steps 3 to 8 on every transition that leads to the "Done" status!
9. Don't forget to publish the workflow draft.

 Could this be company managed? I do not have the "Add post function" option

Hi @Martijn Abbink 

Yes, it is possible. Please check examples - https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library#/rule-list?systemLabelId=all&page=1&pageSize=20&sortKey=name&sortOrder=ASC

Maybe an additional question: but would it also be possible to add something to the fix version? With the automation rule it seems to "set' it , so the other fix version(s) are removed. (Maybe we misuse the field on our side).
