We have a Jira issue type called "Release", which we use to manage the release process. We've created several automation rules which we would like our users to be able to run manually, but we only want it to appear in the "Actions" menu for this "Release" type of issue. Is there any way to do this?
I know one "hack" would be to create a custom field, lets call it "linking", and a workflow transition which simply sets the "linking" field, and keeps the status of the issue the same. Then we would attach the trigger of our automation to the change in this field, and then have the field updated when it is done.
I wish there was a way of running an automation rule directly from a transition, but last time I checked that was not available.
Any ideas?
