Hi all, I'm looking to implement some sort of random processing within Jira. Only 25% of a specific sub-task needs to go through QA, so does anyone know of a way to do one of the following: * Out of a list of jql-filtered issues, give a random 25% of these the value of 'Needs QA' (in a custom field), OR * Having a side-step status in a workflow of 'QA Pending', that only a random 25% of the filtered issues will transition through, and the other 75% of sub-tasks will bypass this status Any ideas would be much appreciated!

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Can Jira select a random sample of issues for QA?

You can use Automation for Jira (which is standard in Cloud). You should be able to make a rule that selects a random number and multiply that with the number of issues within your query.

See the Random function here.

So you could make a custom field that sets a field (checkbox) in 25% of the time during a certain transition/creation of a subtask.

If you need help, just say the word, I'll try to figure something out if I have time.

Thanks @Rudy Holtkamp , this sounds exactly what I'm looking for! I'll have a play around with this and let you know if I have any questions.

Here is the rule, at least the logic to get the 25%

{{#=}}ROUND(RANDOM()*4,0){{/}}

@Rudy Holtkamp I'm not entirely sure where I would enter this smart value, where I'd select the 0.25 (25%) value and what field to edit, would this all be done within a rule action?

Hey @Callum Carlile _Automation Consultants_ & @Rudy Holtkamp ! Does the automation rule guarantee 10% sample size if I put ceiling random 10 and compare it to if number is equal to 1.

Out of 100 tickets, will I get exactly 10 tickets in QA? I have already done this, but I can't figure out how to get a fixed % of the total population as sample. I have 100 tickets, I need exactly 10% for QA

Rudy Holtkamp

Hi @Manav Shah ,

No, with the above logic you will not get 10% of the tickets guaranteed. (Well in the example above it was 5%, but in your example you talk about 10%).

In reality the Random function be regenerated a new number every time, so this could lead to 0% hits and 100% hits, although in most cases it will be around the 10%.

Привет, мне нужно, чтобы каждый понедельник создавалась задача, в которой в описании или связанной (связь установить не удалось) будет 5 задач, выполненных за прошлую неделю с пн по вс. Пока что мне удалось сделать все, что нужно, кроме случайного выбора 5% задач из всегда разного числа. Может быть, вы знаете, как это сделать? Буду очень благодарен за помощь. Также я не могу найти значение, которое бы оставляло список этих 5% задач в описании новой задачи
