In Structure How Can I set the Sprint of a Bug to the current sprint using Effectors?

James Schnur

Some users do not have the ability to set the sprint of a bug which causes me to manually set the sprint. I would like to run an effector to set the sprint of the created bug to the current sprint.

Hi @James Schnur

Dionathan with ALM Works here.

If you are using an on-prem version of Structure (7+), you could try the following steps:

Click on the first row of your Structure
Go to Automation > Effectors > Attribute to Issue Field
- Give it a name
- On the Attribute section, select Formula from the dropdown list
  - Where you see "Enter the formula", please use the following code:
    - if (PARENT{sprint.state} = "ACTIVE"; PARENT{sprint.name})
- On the Field section, select Sprint from the dropdown list
- Action section should be Set
- and on the Limit to section, you could add "Type = bug"
- Click Save and Run

Basically, it is checking the state of its Parent Sprint, and if it is "ACTIVE", it means that the Sprint is the current one, so it will set the bug to it.

Please let me know if it does help.

Best Regards,
Dionathan

Hi Dionathan, yes the suggested solution did work and thank you for it. One question.. is there a way I can populate the bug with the current sprint versus the parents sprint?

Thank You

Hi @James Schnur

You are always welcome.

The Sprint field from Jira only accepts one Sprint name at a time. So, if you need to write something like the below in your Bug:

Bug's Current Sprint: Sprint X / Parent's Sprint: Sprint Y

then, you will need to create a new Text Custom Field and change the Effector configuration to write the value to this new field.

The steps will be the same, just need to update the Field with the new custom field name, and the formula code will be something like this:

CONCAT ("Current: " CONCAT sprint.name
CONCAT " / Parents: "
CONCAT PARENT{sprint.name})

It should look like the below:

Here is the result of the above example in the Bug View Screen (Custom field name: Custom Sprint):

Hope that helps.

Hi Dionathan - what you provided worked wonderfully! Now that our process has changed I need some additional help. Is there a way to apply the current active sprint in the project (not the one assigned to the parent) to a bug in a certain status.
