How to auto-update Summary?

Preston Warden

I have the Automation for JIRA downloaded on our server. I am trying to get it set up to where a summary field is created automatically to ensure that the field is consistent across all issues. 

 

Here is the link I found that I cannot figure out how to use.

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/How-to-update-the-Summary-field-by-appending-text-using/qaq-p/929877

 

I would like the summary to update with the following fields in the format as shown:

 

{{Program Name}} &" "& {{Lot Number}} & " (" & {{Work Authority}} & ")"

 

I know the language is incorrect on that coding. I am very new to JIRA and am trying to figure it all out.

Hello Preston,

Are the "Program Name" field,  "Lot  Number", ect custom fields being filled out?

If so, do the following

1. Create a new automation rule. You'll need to pick the trigger you want to  run. For something like this, it sounds like you might want it to run when the tickets are being created.
2. Add a condition to limit when the rule is run -   If you don't want the rule to be executed for every ticket created, make sure to enter a condition so that it only executes for the tickets you want.  For example, maybe you only want it to execute if the ticket has values for all three of those fields.
3. Add an "Edit Issue" action. Choose the summary field & insert the following:

   {{issue.program name}}  {{issue.Lot Number}} ({{issue.work Authority}})

This should get you what you want!

Thanks,
