Automation: condition on project setting

ICMS _ JIRA

Hi, 

 

we would like to execute a jira automation on an issue only if a specific condition on the project is met. 

Use case:

If a team member A assigns an issue to an user B that has a specific role (customer), the security level changes to external. To raise awareness, we send an email to user A that reminds him that the issue is now visible to external users. 

 

However, there are some projects that don't need to differentiate between customer and team member whe it comes to security levels. For these projets wihtout security levels, the automation should NOT be active. 

 

 

We are looking for a condition within the automation rule that goes something like this:

- if the project of the edited issue has security scheme xy, then do ... 

However, we can't find the possibility to define a condition for the project, only for the issue itself. 

 

Are we missing something or is this not possible? 

 

Thank you in advance

Hi @ICMS _ JIRA and welcome to the Community!

No, there is not such a setting. However, in the configuration of your automation rules you can specify the list of projects the rule would apply to.

Admittedly, you would need to manage/update your automation rule potentially when you add new projects, but it would be manageable through a bit of documentation and governance. And it may be a feasible workaround for your use case.

Hope this helps!
