Change issue security level when certain tag is added to a issue

Question

Hi there,

We have a request from the business to lock down certain issues when a set tag is added to an issue.

Example we have a security scheme named "IT admins" and when an issue has a tag set say "IT admin review" we would like some form of automation that changes the scheme (security level) to "IT admins".

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @James Keith and welcome to the community!

Alles gut with that @Mikael Sandberg proposed to you. This is a good way to automate what you want to achieve. The only thing that I would suggest for you to be careful about, is that label is a free text field. Meaning that if a user has the edit issue permission, can add/delete any value from that field. To avoid this I would suggest instead of labels, to use another type of field, such as a single select field, and place that only on the create screen. In that way normal users will not be able to change it's value.

You can use the Value change trigger to do this. Your automation should look something like this:
