Move task automatic when date = start date

Yin_56l02h

Hello,

I want to create automation for moving task automatic when date = start date.
Please advise.

I tried When Issue create > Start date equal to time of execution > Then Transition.
And nothing happens.

PS. I use Jira from Thailand, do I have to set time in the system too?

Hello @Yin 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

When the issue is created are you setting Start date to a future date?

Do I understand correctly that when that date actually arrives you want to transition the issue to a different status automatically?

If both of the above are correct then what you need is a rule that uses the Scheduled trigger.

You would set the trigger so that the rule runs each day. You can set the time of day and timezone appropriate to your location.

 

In the trigger you would include a JQL statement to select the issues that have a Start date equal to today.

 

The minimum JQL statement you would need would be:

"Start date" > startOfDay() and "Start date" < endOfDay()

You may also want to include some criteria related to the current Status of the issue to ensure that the issue is currently in a Status that has a valid transition to the new Status. Include any other criteria in the JQL statement as you may need to limit the rule execution to the issues you want to transition.

Make sure that you uncheck the box pointed to by the red arrow.

Then add the Transition Issue Action.
