How do I automate the transition of all tickets from Done to Released when a Sprint is Completed

Question

My workflow has a status DONE that represents that status of a ticket when it is through UAT but not in production. When I click on the "Complete sprint" button I would like to automatically transition the set of tickets that are DONE to RELEASED.

Can someone please point me to an example that completes this Automation.

also... It may be obvious, but you need to ensure that your "Done" status is in fact mapped to the right-most column of your board.

Hi @Vinny Laiosa ,

This is possible by doing the following:

* Go to Project Settings page
* Select Automation
* Create a new Automation rule
* Select Sprint Completed for your first option and select your board
* Select Condition and JQL Condition
* Here enter (to restrict the next change to only issues that are in the done status):status = Done

* Select Action and here use the action Transition issue
* Select the destination status to transition to (in your case this should be released).
* Save and Publish the automation.

With the following, you should be able to achieve what you described. Also since you check that status = Done, it moves only those in this status to the released state.

One thing I would watch out for is when Completing a Sprint, JIRA moves the issues to the next sprint or returns them to the backlog. As these issues would be entering the actual done status after the release, you may run into an issue where they are moved into the next sprint.

I will recommend setting a resolution when they get to the done state before releasing to avoid this.

Regards.
