Automation for Jira cloud - Issue Released

Amy Bass

I am trying to create an automation in JIRA to transition an issue to a new status when the fixversion is released. 

I've set up the automation to trigger using Version Released and the action to be transition issue.

When I attempt to turn on the automation I receive the following error: 
The rule has been configured with components that require issues to be provided by the trigger. To run these components you must add a branch for this version or JQL. The following components require issues: Transition issue

Execute this rule when a version is released. You can access the version object in other components by using the 'version' smart value e.g. {{version.name}}

I'm presented with a Version name filter, but cannot figure out what to put in the Version name filter.   I'd like it to run for any versions >  1.*.  I'd appreciate any help with making this automation work.

Hi @Amy Bass 

It sounds like you may be missing a piece of your rule to access the items associated to the version.  (Please post an image of your rule if I am missing something.)  This can happen when you have placed your action *outside* of the branch structure.

So, your rule might look something like this:

• Trigger: version released
• Branch: for issues fixed in version
  • Condition: maybe add a condition if you need to limit the items transitioning.  For example, abandoned things, stuff already done, etc.
  • Action: Transition the issue to the status you want

Best regards,

Bill
