Automation rule to heritate "components" field from test plan to test execution

Question

Hi,

I’m using Jira with the pluggin XRay. I tried to implement an automation rule to update the “labels” and “components” fields of a test execution whenever the execution is linked to a test plan. For that I’m using the field value changed trigger on the “test plan” attribute of the test execution. So when i add an execution to a test plan, it should be triggered. However, the rule is only triggered when I modify manually the field “test plan” in the test execution. but if i add the execution to the test plan from the test plan issue, then the rule is not triggered. Do you know why it is like that and how I could get the rule to works in both directions (from the test execution and from the test plan)

Thanks in advance

That is curious; I would expect the vendor can tell you if the actions you are taking do / do not raise events that can be detected by Jira.

Also, this is a community forum and not Atlassian Support.  If you are on a paid Jira license, you can contact Atlassian Support here: https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/

I tried but they don't really know about automation and told me to reach atlassian support

I recommend contacting XRay, either through their documentation or support team, on their marketplace page.  They will be better able to answer this question.
