How to create recurring taks within my project?

Ingo Strohmeyer

Hello there,

 

As you may already know I am kinda new to JIRA Automate. Right now I am struggling a bit with the execution of my ideas.

1. Every Week on X at >Y
2. Create a Task
3. Auto-assign it to everyone in a group x or role y

It seemed quite easy for me, but I continuously fail at creating this automation. I am sure I shouldn't be that difficult or? I'd be grateful for any information.

The error is occurring because the ACTION of Assignee issue is outside the scope of Create Issue.

You need inside the ACTION to create issue, include the "Assignee" field and select the assignee assignment options.

By your logic, Jira should change the Assignee of something in the Schedule, but you don't have anything configured in the schedule's JQL. This assignee is not inside the "Create issue" event, it is in the schedule event which is empty in the JQL.

So if you use a custom field to assign the assignee, you can put it automatically by following the instructions below:

Click on "Choose fields to set value";
Select the "Assignee" field;
Click on the 3 dots on the right side and click on "Copy value from";
Enter the custom field to fill in the assignee automatically
