Automation rule to identify multiple entries in FixVersion field

Stacey Hamilton

We created an automation rule that copies the FixVersion from an Epic to the Feature when the Parent Link is updated on that Epic (it also adds a comment to the Feature that says "The FixVersion value on this issue has been updated based on the FixVersion/s applied to Epics under this Feature"). 

The purpose of this rule is to identify Features with multiple FixVersions applied to them and resolve to one FixVersion. Ideally, we'd like an automation rule that looks for multiple FixVersions in the FixVersion field and selects a "Needs Discussion" checkbox and also adds a comment. 

We have yet to come up with a way to write this rule, as haven't discovered a way for Jira to look for multiple entries in the FixVersion field.

Has anyone had any experience with writing such a rule?

Thanks in advance.

@Stacey Hamilton, 

 

This can be done! All you need to do is run an "advanced compare condition" and check if the fix version list size is greater than one. Try using the smart value {{issue.fixVersions.size}}.
