Use Post Function to Bulk Transition Issues in another project

Question

I have an issue in Project A. This issue contains a field with a Sprint #. When this issue is marked "Completed", I want to look up ALL the issues belonging to the Sprint # in another project and transition them to a given status.

Is this possible? Should I use a webhook instead of a Post Function?

Thank you for your response. I am going to try this.

However I do have a followup question: I am not able to find ONLY the issues that were completed in a given Sprint #.

for example - if I look for issues that were moved to the QA Completed status in Sprint 1. its also bringing back issues that were moved from Sprint 1 -> Sprint 2 and completed in Sprint 2.

Hi Vijay,

Do you have JMWE app? If yes you can do it this way:

* Add the "Link issues to current issue" post-function to link all the issues of Project B under Sprint # to the current issue.
* Add the Transition linked Issues post-function, with a delay of 3 sec, to transition all these linked issues to the required status.
* Add the Unlink issues post-function, with a delay of 3 sec, to unlink all the issues linked using post-function #1

Regards,

Radhika

I've had a lot of luck with the Power Scripts plugin to perform these kinds of cross-context actions in SIL scripts.
