workflow process questions

Raoul Kaiser

I am trying to stream line our workflow. We have our process built with a QA status and user acceptance status before being done. I have added the field UAT required (Y/N).

If the answer is Y then I want the status after QA to be User Acceptance.

If the answer is N then the status after QA should be Ready to Release.

Anyone have suggestions on how to make this work?

Hi Raoul,

You can create two transitions leaving the QA status - one to User Acceptance and one to Ready to Release.

Then put a condition on each transition that checks the value of the UAT field.

I was already doing this out of user acceptance. All this did was move the controls "PASS" and "SKIP" into our QA departments hand instead of the UAT teams. Is there a way to automate it so that there is just 1 transition that decides which status to go to depending on the field.

I tried Jira automation and that did not work for me. It could not pick up transitions.

So when the QA analyst updates a custom field to say PASS or SKIP (is it a field or a transition to a status?) if the UAT required field says Yes, then you want to auto transition the card to User Acceptance status. Otherwise it should auto transition to Ready to Release.

Is that that scenario? If so, you can easily do that in Automation For Jira. If that is indeed the situation, can you share a screenshot of what you have created in Automation that is not working for you?

If that is not the case, can you give me more insight into the process?

Raoul Kaiser

Close. I want the QA analyst to have only 1 button, Pass. Then based on the custom field UAT = No. I want it to transition to the new status of Ready to Release.

If UAT = Yes I want it to transition to the status of User Acceptance.
