How to change sprint in JIRA automation based on name and not id?

Patrizia Heinzl

Hello,

I need to change the sprint of an issue with automation.

However instead of using the sprint ID, I want to use the name of the sprint. Is this possible?

 

Unfortunately below example does not work. I tried a few other things but not sure if its even possible to do this without using the sprint ID?

 

{ "fields" : {
"customfield_10005" : [{"name" : "Existing Sprint name"}]
}
}

 

I get the error message: 

Error occurred setting field 'customfield_10005'. It will be ignored. (customfield_10005)

---------------

Info:

I have certain releases mapped to specific sprints.:

e.g

Release name: R23/22 > Sprint name: Sprint R23/22

Release name: R23/23 > Sprint name: Sprint R23/23

 

> As soon as the release of an issue changes, it should also change to the corresponding sprint.

> Since the sprint has the release in its name, it would be a lot easier using the names instead of mapping each release separately to each sprint ID.

No, it is not possible to use the name instead of the sprint Id. The reason is that the sprint name isn't unique in your instance, you could have two or more sprints with the same name.
