Make Autotransition in Jira

Question

PROBLEM: There are two Jira projects: A & B. When project A transitions, project B should as well. Issues from projects A & B are linked.

RESEARCH: There is an ILA plugin for Jira and in its Update Status Transition you can select issues with JQL and set their statuses.

I've conducted a JQL, but it is related to current issue, and I need it is a variable which is unavailable (find issues of project A, linked to issue B-3 from project B) :

project = "A" AND issue IN LinkedIssuesByJQL("issue = B-3")

QUESTION: How to refer to a variable like $currentIssue? Any other free plugins? Maybe using Jira API?

Hi,

Linked transition is really a powerful feature in JSU. Using JSU you can target not only linked issues, but also related issues like parent/sub-task, issue link, Epic./Issues in Epic. You can even customise the target issues using JQL. In your case, you can use JQL like  issue in linkedIssues({issue.key}, "clones") and project ="Project B"

You can also synchronise data inputs across related issues, and copy values from one issue to related issues without coding. See the helpful documentation here to find out more: https://confluence-apps.beecom.ch/display/JSU/Linked+Transition

Hope this helps.

There are many options out there to do linked transitions:

Jira Misc Workflow Extensions has a transition linked issue post function

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/292/jira-misc-workflow-extensions-jmwe?hosting=server&tab=overview

JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows Also has one

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5048/jsu-automation-suite-for-jira-workflows?hosting=server&tab=overview

You can also (partial list)

* Automation for Jira, (this one was recently purchased by Atlassian)
* one of the scripting addons. (scriptrunner,power scripts)
* Jira Workflow Toolbox

So there are many options. Take a look at each of the addons and see which one has the most features that you would use in addition to linked transitions. They are all good choices, and all have their pros and cons.
