Automation to align status between JPD and Jira

Rebecca Graf

Hey all,

I'd like to create an automation, which checks if a status of delivery tickets in Jira is aligned with the JPD ticket (only in a certain JIRA project).

The challenge: Our workflow in Jira is different from JPD, meaning that I need a mapping like

 

if status in JPD is A please set status of linked issue in Jira project X to B

 if status in JPD is C please set status of linked issue in Jira project X to D

and so on...

The automation should run regularly without being triggered by a status change. How do I set it up properly?

 

Thanks for your help :-) 

 

Best

Rebecca

Hi @Rebecca Graf ,

An automation like that one below should work for the use case - which uses multiple IF / ELSE components to map each JPD status to Jira status:

 

1) WHEN: Issue transitioned

2) IF / ELSE

• Status = "JPD status A"

3) Branch rule / related issues

• Type of related issues = Linked issues
• Link types = is implemented by

4) THEN: Transition the issue

• Destination status = "Jira project X, status B"

5) IF / ELSE

• Status = "JPD status C"

6) Branch rule / related issues

• Type of related issues = Linked issues
• Link types = is implemented by

7) THEN: Transition the issue

• Destination status = "Jira project X, status D"

^ And so on depending on how many JPD idea statuses you want to map to Jira issues statuses.

 

So each IF / ELSE component should be tied to the top WHEN: Issue transitioned component, and each IF / ELSE component branches after to look for the delivery ticket.

If an IF / ELSE component does not match (Ex: steps 2-4 above), the automation will then check the following (Ex: steps 5-7 above), and so on, until a there is a match - then stop reviewing the following IF / ELSE components after the match.

Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any questions.
