Adding all issues that match a custom field to a new sprint

Bastiaan de Groot

I am trying to achieve the following:

I would like to have a button that when I click it, I can enter a date an all tickets from the backlog for which a customer field (LastCommitDate) are added to this sprint.

I have a few challenges:

- It does not seem to be possible to add a custom button to the backlog or the create new sprint, so no idea how to create this button

- I decided for now to have the date fixed in the automation and manually change it when I make a new sprint (just for now), but also this does not work.

I made the following automation:

I tried to use this action to assign them to the new sprint, now idea if that works

Any insights how to get this to work?

Would it not be easier to just add a filter to the backlog to filter out the issues, and then select them all and drag into the new sprint? Seems like a lot of work for something that only take a minute or two?

Regardless what your reasons are, I think you would need to develop this as an app. If you need manual input outside an issue, then I don't know of any feature in automation that would allow you to do that. You would need to build a custom trigger as an app, unless someone build a trigger based on the creation of a sprint or something like that.
