Create tickets in all projects that meet certain criteria?

Shawn Oster_asl6gj

I need to create the same ticket in multiple projects and I'd prefer not to create a discrete Create Issue action for each project.

Ideally I could query on project details, something like:

for each project where project.category == "Feature Team":
  create issue

If that doesn't work using JQL or a filter:

for each project in (ABC, DEF, EBC):
  create issue

 Pretty much anything except:

create issue in ABC
create issue in DEF
create issue in EBC

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Hi @Shawn Oster 

What version of Jira are you using?  If it is Jira Cloud...

You could try creating a variable with the list of projects' id values, separated by commas, and then use an advanced branch to loop over those.  In the issue create action, use the branch variable as the project key.

• action: create variable
  • variable name: varProjectList
  • smart value: 10010,10011,10012
• advanced branch
  • variable: varProject
  • smart value: {{varProjectList.split(",")}}
    • action: create issue, using {{varProject}} 

I have not tried this, so I do not know if the issue will successfully create with a lop variable as the project key.

Kind regards,
Bill

 

UPDATE: I changed the CSV list of project names to use the projects' id values and the rule worked as expected.
