How to automate using checkboxes or dropdown on a form

Rachana Kandlagunta

Hi @Bill Sheboy 

Could you please help me.

JSM Cloud: Usecase: When a user checks (for an example ‘export’ )a particular checkbox on a form. Then it should create an epic and stories for a particular assignee

In this way I need to create automation rules  for several checkboxs on a form to create Epics/Stories

1. On the form -- There are checkboxes

2. On the form --- There is a dropdown to choose choices

"From your response:

• trigger: field value changed
• branch: to current issue
  • condition: check if a specific value is checked
  • action: create the epic
  • action: create the story
• repeat above, for each checked value..."

 

I don't see the option under "field value changed" to pick ? Please suggest thank you

Hi @Rachana Kandlagunta - Am I correct to assume that these checkboxes are NOT linked to a Jira field? If you want to perform reporting or processing against a form field, it needs to be linked to a Jira field on the backend.

If you are just using a form field without a mapping, you won't be able to use automation against it.  Form fields are intended to expand upon the simplistic nature of the Description field so that customers can be guided with specific questions upfront in an effort to reduce back and forth. So, the form fields are not intended for processing or reporting (at least not at present).
