Creating automation rules based on the Releases field on a ticket

Steven Sanyal

Hi, 

We typically use Feature Flags in our tickets and I want to monitor how well tickets are tagged with a Feature Flag.  I was thinking of adding an Automation rule, when a ticket moves to Code Review, check if it has at least one Feature Flag in the Releases field and alert if it doesn't.  However, in the Automation workflow I don't see the Releases field exposed.

In addition, I'd love to create an automation rule that generates a "cleanup Feature Flag" ticket whenever a ticket with a Feature Flag is moved to Done.  Is this something that's feasible to do?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi @Steven Sanyal 

You may try this how-to article to learn if there is a smart value for your field.  Essentially you identify an issue with the data and call the REST API from a browser to find the field.

Once you have that smart value you can try accessing it from a rule.

You could also look at the DevOps related automation documentation to see how that helps:
