Automation: Is there a way to add a quick filter as action in automation

Wilson Lai_q9uetb

Hi everyone good day, I am managing releases of my apps using JIRA where we have a Kanban board managing tickets. We use quick filter in board to filter out tickets that will be included in our next releases. Right now I am adding the filter manually with JQL (fix version = xxx) and I just wonder if there's a way to automate this process using JIRA automation. Add a new quick filter when a new release version is created. (I dont seem find anything about quick filter in automation > Action).

Hi @Wilson Lai

No, and there are a least a couple of work-arounds...

A) Let's say you wanted to just do this with quick filters...You could use two quick filters such as:

Name: next release, with JQL of: fixVersion = earliestUnreleasedVersion()
Name: later releases, with JQL of: project = myProjectName AND fixVersion != earliestUnreleasedVersion() AND fixVersion in unreleasedVersions()

Dynamically modify your quick filter using an automation rule. This may be more than what is needed if the above method helps, but just in case...

create a filter which meets your needs and save it, noting the filter ID
create a board quick filter which uses it, as filter=myFilterId
create an automation rule, perhaps triggered on creation of the new version (or release of the prior one)
- in the rule, call the REST API to edit the filter's JQL to what you need
now the quick filter dynamically changes

Kind regards,
Bill

The short answer is no, you cannot automate adding new quick filters. There is not API endpoint that allows you to do this.

Thanks @Bill Sheboy . These solutions sound good. I've tried A) and it works like a charm! A few notes for everyone on setting up the earliestUnreleasedVersion():

earliestUnreleasedVersion is the earliest version in Releases page following the list order but not the actual release day (i.e. the earliest created release)
A leaner version of the function call is earliestUnreleasedVersion(projectName)
