Jira Automations

Question

Hi there,

Working on using the Jira Automations system to streamline our teams workflow. One of the things I want to do is create issues in projects when a sprint starts (think Project Management and Administrative work items we can track time to).

It's clear enough to me how to put that all together for the most part, but for the life of me I cannot find a way to apply one rule to "all" projects...

Any got any ideas/suggestions for this? Don't really want to add a step to project provisioning where we have to add that project to our automations as well...

Thanks in advance, and Happy Friday! :D

I'm familiar with that area, and I've already got that setup and am in a Global Automation.

I think I probably didn't word it the best. The trigger I'm using is Sprint Created, and I would like this to happen on all of our Boards (I said projects initially). The trigger has me choose which board to apply this rule to, and I would like to apply it to "all" or maybe a JQL filter.

I tried just using the provided JQL filter to filter on "Sprint|sprint" so that I would get any sprint named with sprint, but it still requires that I select a Board...

That is an excellent point. Thanks. Absolutely right.

Hi @Allen Trevethan

Just a heads up for your use case: if you are triggering the rule on Sprint Started and then adding issues to the sprint, that will show up as scope change for your sprints.

An alternative would be to trigger on Sprint Created so the issues are assigned to the sprint at the time of sprint start, causing no scope change.

Kind regards,
Bill
