Automation question concerning multiple condition-action-blocks in succession

Sebastian Krzyzanowski_1kh6mn

Hello.

I'm trying to set up an automation rule which will be triggered upon sprint completion. 

Since you can't use if/else conditions inside of branches I just "chained" two conditioned actions. My question is: doing it this way, will the second action (yellow rectangle) ever get executed at all? Or will the condition "status does not equal ready for preview" prevent all issues which actually are "ready for review" to get beyond this first highlighted condition/point?

Hi @Sebastian Krzyzanowski 

The latter part of the rule will never activate. This is because the original conditions will prevent issues from passing forward down to the second set of conditions / actions.

However, you could break the rule into two separate branches, which can operate similar to If/Else for related issues. The branches will operate in order.

So the rule would be:

• Trigger: Sprint completed
• Branch: For issues in sprint
  • Condition: Issue fields condition - Issue Type = Story, Change
  • Condition: Issue fields condition - Status != Ready for Review
  • Action: Transition issue - Ready for Planning
• Branch: For issues in sprint
  • Condition: Issue fields condition - Status = Ready for Review
  • Action: Transition issue - Ready for LAK-Testing

Because there are now two branches, whilst some issues will fail the first branch conditions, they'll succeed in the second branch and both sets of actions will complete.
