Trigger automation when version startDate changes

Question

Hi, I'm new to automation and I'm trying to create a rule to set "Ready for test" all the related issues when a version startDate is set.

My workflow is to assign a fixVersion to an issue, working on it, and then updating the startDate of the version when I deploy it in test environment. I want this action to trigger an update on all the issue with fixVersion = version to transition them to "Ready for test".

I can see there's a Version Updated trigger, but I can't find a way to "filter" the action just when the startDate changes (possibly when it changes from not set to any value).

Can anyone help me?

Allen,

I'm not sure you read the initial question correctly. He is asking how to change the status of issues based on the associated fixversion start date being changed. The suggestions you gave him imply that the field value for fixversion would change which isn't the case.

The next action (and this is if the trigger suggestion were possible, which it isn't) would be transition, not edit issue.

And the linked example has zero relevance since it's about portfolio fields.

Hi Davide

Welcome to the world of Automation!

Have you tried using the 'Field value changed' trigger? Type in 'Start date' in 'Select a field'. Then you can use the 'Edit issue' action.

Hope this helps,
