Text status field on Advances roadmap.

Moe.Madjdi

Hi, We would like to find a way for 100 projects to provide their status update (text) every two weeks on Advanced Roadmap. Is there any way to apply a template to the text field.

In another word, maybe it could be something like an automated form/confluence that automatically collects status from project managers.

Hi @Moe.Madjdi 

Is this field on a new Issue every two weeks, or an existing one?

I've assumed this is a Company-managed Project given you're using Advanced Roadmaps.

New Issue

You can give a field a default value. You'll need to be a Jira Admin, and then...

1. Go to Jira Settings > Issues
2. On the row of your custom field, select the breadcrumbs (3-dots icon) > Contexts and Default Values
3. Select the hyperlink Edit Default Value
4. Add your Template (which you can use wiki markup for), and press Set Default

Existing Issue

If it's a case of updating the same field every two weeks, you could use Automation. For example...

• Trigger: Scheduled
  • Run: Every 2 weeks
  • JQL: issuetype = Initiative and resolution IS EMPTY - or whatever query is relevant
• Action: Edit Issue
  • Set the relevant custom field to a template
• Action: Comment on Issue
  • Comment asking the relevant user to update the status update field

Would either of these work for you?
