A4J: JQL Condition does not support "addedAfterSprintStart" / "removedAfterSprintStart"

Question

Hi friends,

I'm trying to use the JQL Condition feature of Automation for Jira to run some queries using ScriptRunner JQL Functions, and I can use the following JQL successfully:

issueFunction IN incompleteInSprint("[Board Name]", [Sprint Name])

But not..

issueFunction IN addedAfterSprintStart("[Board Name]", [Sprint Name])

I have validated that the issue in question responds correctly to this JQL outside of A4J, but, when run the same JQL within A4J's JQL Condition the condition fails.

Does anyone know why this would be?

Many thanks!

Hi Kalyan,

Thanks so much for continuing to engage on this question - per my original post, I am using the board name & sprint name in the function (I've just had to redact them for my question).

Further, the sprints in question were created from this board.

As per the original question, the JQL works fine anywhere except the JQL Condition feature of Automation for Jira.

Thanks!

Have you tried to just give board name:

issueFunction in addedAfterSprintStart("NEXTGEN")

Cause If its a custom board created just for this information and sprint was not created for this board, then unfortunately providing Sprint argument may not work...

Below is the blurb from Scriptrunner's site:

If a board and sprint are used, but the sprint was not created from that particular board,then the function will not show any results. The sprint needs to have been created from the board used in the function. This is a limitation on the information we receive from Jira when an issue is moved into a sprint after the sprint has started.

Hi Kalyan,

I'm authoring the automation role as a global rule because it spans multiple projects, and the agile board I'm referencing has the same projects in its filter.
